What does the overline mean in this: “What is the order of $overline{30}$ in $Bbb Z/54Bbb Z$?”












1














I apologize if this was posted already somewhere. I looked but had trouble describing it. My only question is what the overline means in this situation. I do not need help with the actual problem.



What is the order of $overline{30}$ in $Bbb Z/54Bbb Z$?

    The overline probably denotes that it is equivalence class modulo 54 to avoid confusion with the integer 30.

  • I am confused then because the second part of the question asks: Write all of the elements of $langle overline{30} rangle$.

  • By equivalence classes modulo 54 are just the elements of $mathbb{Z}/54mathbb{Z}$. For example, $overline{30} + overline{30} = overline{6}$ whereas $30 + 30 = 60$.

    @User52525: That's fine, here are a few members of $overline{30}$: $30$, $84$, $-24$.
