... The integer m is called the modulus of the congruence. Proposition 2.2 (Elementary properties of congruences). Let a, b, c, d ∈ Z, m ∈ N. (i) If a ≡ b mod m and c ≡ d mod m, then a + c ≡ b + d mod m. (ii) If a ≡ b mod m and c ≡ d mod m, then ac ≡ bd mod m. (iii) If a ≡ b mod m, then an ≡ bn mod m fo ...

... where ^(fc - 2) is the (k - 2)nd even-Zeck integer. Proof: Apply Lemma 2.1 to Theorem 2.1. • To illustrate Theorem 2.2, R(N) = 7 = 65,3 appears as the 8th term in the 5th row; n - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6 = 2 2 + 2 1 , yielding N = F2.6 + F 2 ( 2 + 1 ) + F2{1+1) = F1Q + F6 + F 4 = 66, and iJ(66) = 7.
