⚠️

Why Students Get Stuck

Common mistakes to watch out for:

  • Computing the full number before taking remainder
  • Not simplifying remainders at each step
  • Mixing up modulo rules for different operations
💡

Your First Step

How to begin thinking about problems with this structure:

Work with remainders throughout, don't wait until the end to take the remainder.

全程使用余数计算,不要等到最后才取余数。
