Is it possible to extend this to other primes p different from 23? Last fiddled with by enzocreti on 2020-03-03 at 10:14

Yes. I wrote this Python script to determine said numbers:
Code:
#program to check if a number is congruent to its last 2 decimal digits mod p,
#where p is a prime

N = -10000
p = 23
while(N<=10000):
stringint = str(N)
finaldigits = stringint[-2:]
finaldigitsint = int(finaldigits)
if N%p == finaldigitsint:
print(N)
N += 1
else:
N += 1
Up to |N| = 10000 I get the following numbers:

If you have a Python interpreter you can run this with a different value of p to find numbers that are congruent to their last 2 digits mod p.
That being said, it may be worth learning a coding language so you don't have to ask such questions. It's one thing for someone else to do the code, it's another to do it yourself.
