16.3 Dec 4

It's neat to see some of the same tools we learned about originally coming back to help in a variety of situations like the gcd and the Chineese Remainder Theorem.

Can we pick any arbitrary equation and point mod n to factor n?  I was also confused in the second example how they started by trying to calculate 10!.  I don't know where the factorial came from as it wasn't in the first example at all.
