Common power residues from coprime exponent congruences
ID: common-power-residues-from-coprime-exponent-congruences
Choose a primitive root modulo and write the nonzero coefficients as . The Chinese remainder theorem gives an exponent congruent to modulo , respectively. Then and the three roots , , give the displayed common nonzero residue. This technique converts multiplicative power constraints into simultaneous additive modular congruences for exponents.
