Elementary Number Theory: Show that $3^{10}equiv 1 pmod{11^2}$.












3














As the title says, I need to show $3^{10}equiv 1 pmod{11^2}$. I'm currently practicing some problems related to Fermat's little theorem and Wilson's theorem, and things were going fine but I am stumped on this problem. What I know so far is:



$3^{10}equiv 1 pmod{11}$, by Fermat's Little Theorem.



I'm not sure where to go from here, it almost looks like a lifting problem, but we have no variable so a function's derivative would always just be 0. I tried looking up how to lift constants potentially, but I couldn't really find anything (maybe I just didn't search well, so I apologize if this is the case) Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is no lifting here. You are right about that. All what you need, as I can see, is to calculate this manually modulo $121$ instead of being misled by $11^2$. For the calculation, it turns out to be not so hard to follow it up.



As all powers of $3$ below $5$ are lower than $121$, notice that $3^5$ is $1$ more $242$ which is nothing but $2*121$. What this essentially tells you?



Now, as we noticed that:



$$3^5 equiv 1 pmod {121}$$



What can this tell us about $3^{10}$??

Note that $3^2=11-2$



Then $$3^{10}=(11-2)^5= 11^5- dots +binom 51times 11times 2^4-2^5equiv 880-32 bmod 121$$



using the binomial expansion, and simply $848=7times 121 +1$



Other solutions are slicker in this case, but the arithmetic here is pretty simple, and when you are looking at the square of a prime as the modulus most of the terms in the binomial expansion will simply drop out.
