Wow great crypro primer! Simpler than I had during the crypto Mathclass at College! But I don't get e * d = 1(mod(p-1)*(q-1))

10mod9 is 1 but 1modx is always 1 no?

Hey thanks @nutela. I believe your question relates to the modular multiplicative inverse. There are a few sites that cover this notation better that I could at the moment including here & here. Hope that helps!

Thanks I thought it looked like you divided it by mod or something :)
