4. In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying on calculator technology are not acceptable.
  1. (a) Use the Euclidean algorithm to find the highest common factor \(h\) of 416 and 72
    (b) Hence determine integers \(a\) and \(b\) such that $$416 a + 72 b = h$$ (c) Determine the value \(c\) in the set \(\{ 0,1,2 \ldots , 415 \}\) such that $$23 \times 72 \equiv c ( \bmod 416 )$$
  2. Evaluate \(5 ^ { 10 } ( \bmod 13 )\) giving your answer as the smallest positive integer solution.
