To find the inverse of a modulo m by hand, start with 1 and repeatedly add the modulus m to generate numbers congruent to 1 modulo m. Stop when you reach a number that is a multiple of a.
Conditions: Used to find an inverse of a modulo m.; One looks among integers congruent to 1 modulo m for a multiple of a.

An integer a has an inverse modulo m if and only if the greatest common divisor of a and m is equal to 1, written as (a,m)=1. If the greatest common divisor between a and m is greater than 1, then there is no inverse modulo m.
Conditions: a is an integer.; m is the modulus.; (a,m) denotes the greatest common divisor of a and m.
An integer a has an inverse modulo m if and only if the greatest common divisor of a and m is equal to 1, written as (a,m)=1. If the greatest common divisor between a and m is greater than 1, then there is no inverse modulo m.
Conditions: a is an integer.; m is the modulus.; (a,m) denotes the greatest common divisor of a and m.
5 has no inverse modulo 10 because the greatest common divisor of 5 and 10 is 5, which is not 1. According to the existence theorem, an integer has an inverse modulo m if and only if their gcd is 1.
Conditions: Modulus is 10.; Number whose inverse is requested: 5.

The inverse of 5 modulo 7 is 3. It is computed using the add-the-modulus method: start with 1, add 7 to get 8 (not a multiple of 5), add 7 again to get 15.
