Find the multiplicative inverse of each nonzero element in Z5.
To find the multiplicative inverse of each nonzero element in Z5, then need to find a value for each element that, when multiplied by the original element, gives a remainder of 1 when divided by 5.
In Z5, the nonzero elements are {1, 2, 3, 4}.
Let's calculate the multiplicative inverse for each element:
1: 1 * 1 ≡ 1 (mod 5) The multiplicative inverse of 1 is 1 itself.
2: 2 * 3 ≡ 1 (mod 5) The multiplicative inverse of 2 is 3.
3: 3 * 2 ≡ 1 (mod 5) The multiplicative inverse of 3 is 2.
4: 4 * 4 ≡ 1 (mod 5) The multiplicative inverse of 4 is 4 itself.
Therefore, the multiplicative inverses of the nonzero elements in Z5 are:
1 → 1
2 → 3
3 → 2
4 → 4
