... So the equivalence classes modulo n are precisely: nZ, 1 + nZ, 2 + nZ, . . . , (n − 1) + nZ. This is exactly what we saw when we were working mod n = 4. When working with equivalence relations a new problem arises. Often we want to define functions and operations in terms of representatives for our ...
