  1. Congruence Relation

    Linked via "arithmetic structures"

    $$ax - ny = b$$
    This equation has solutions if and only if $\gcd(a, n)$ divides $b$. If solutions exist, there are precisely $d = \gcd(a, n)$ distinct solutions modulo $n$. This relationship underscores how the congruence relation bridges discrete arithmetic structures with general linear algebra over the integers [3].
