You asked:

Evaluate the congruence relation statement $78 \equiv 1 \pmod{7}$.

MathBot Answer:

This congruence relation statement is true.

Two expressions $a$ and $b$ are congruent modulo $n$ if $a - b$ is a multiple of $n$.

$78 - 1 = 77$, which is a multiple of $7$, so the congruence relation statement is true.

This is because dividing $77$ by $7$ produces $11$ with a remainder of $0$.
