The concept of Boolean product (\(\odot\)) in the context of Boolean algebra often mirrors the operation of multiplication in regular arithmetic but within a constrained set, determined by modulo arithmetic. Here, we examine \(7 \odot 5\). The operation involves multiplying the two numbers, 7 and 5, and then using modulo 70 to constrain the result. Thus, we compute:
\((7 \times 5) \mod 70 = 35 \mod 70 = 35\).
In this scenario, 35 remains unchanged as it is already less than 70. In Boolean algebra, this product operation effectively results in gathering or combining 'truths', much like multiplication gathers quantities.
When calculating Boolean products, it is crucial to first perform multiplication, followed by applying the modulo operation to ensure values stay within the bounds of the chosen modulo.

Boolean sum (\(\oplus\)) represents an operation similar to addition but is interpreted under the framework of Boolean algebra. This concept is used to establish the "sum of truths." In our problem, the task is to compute \(7 \oplus 35\).
Here's how it works:

• First, perform the regular addition: \((7 + 35 = 42)\).
• Apply the modulo operation: \(42 \mod 70 = 42\).

Since the result of 42 is less than 70, it remains without change. Boolean sums enable us to combine Boolean products and values, subjecting them to a limit that is determined by the modulo, here set at 70. This operation complements the Boolean product as it adds Boolean terms, forming a more extensive expression or result.

Modulo arithmetic introduces the concept of congruence, where numbers are wrapped or constrained to a particular range by an upper limit known as the modulo. This wrapped arithmetic keeps numbers within a fixed set of possibilities, making it very useful in logical operations such as those in Boolean algebra.
For instance, in our verification problem, all operations are evaluated under modulo 70:

• The Boolean product \(7 \odot 5\) resulted in 35 because \((35 \mod 70 = 35)\), indicating no change needed as the number is less than 70.
• The Boolean sum \(7 \oplus 35\) resulted in 42 because \((42 \mod 70 = 42)\), similarly unchanged due to being less than 70.

Modulo arithmetic ensures consistent results within repetitive cycles, where numbers exceeding the "mod" value loop back to zero and start over. This method is critical for calculations in Boolean contexts, maintaining numbers within a pre-defined range and ensuring predictable outcomes.
