Quick facts about 555
- Factorization: 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
- Divisible by: 3, 5, and thus by 15; not by 9
- It's a palindrome (reads the same forward and backward)
Sample problems (with solutions)
Factor 555 completely: 555 = 5 × 111 = 5 × 3 × 37 = 3 × 5 × 37
gcd example: gcd(555, 1900) 1900 mod 555 = 235 555 mod 235 = 85 235 mod 85 = 65 85 mod 65 = 20 65 mod 20 = 5 20 mod 5 = 0 gcd = 5
Solve a linear congruence: 555x ≡ 1 (mod 16) 555 ≡ 11 (mod 16), so 11x ≡ 1 (mod 16) Inverse of 11 mod 16 is 3 (since 11×3 = 33 ≡ 1) so x ≡ 3 (mod 16)
Compute a square: 555^2 555^2 = (500 + 55)^2 = 250000 + 55000 + 3025 = 308025
