Calculate using any method you choose. (Hint: 127 is prime.)
Find the inverse of:.
Suppose you want to compute the nth Fibonacci number , modulo an integer . Can you find an efficient way to do this?
The algorithm for computing by repeated squaring does not necessarily lead to the minimum number of multiplications. Give an example of where the exponentiation can be performed using fewer multiplications, by some other method.
