Let d=gcd(c1​,M). A supported sample guarantees d∣c2​. Dividing its linear congruence by d gives an invertible coefficient modulo M/d and a unique residue y0​ there. The d compatible discrete logarithms modulo M are y0​+jM/d for 0≤j<d. Only d=1 determines the discrete logarithm from the sample alone; (c1​,c2​)=(0,0) conveys no information for M>1.
