This video teaches fundamental properties of congruences (A ≡ B mod m) including: (1) if A ≡ B mod m, then A^k ≡ B^k mod m for all positive integers k; (2) if A ≡ B mod m and C ≡ D mod m, then A+C ≡ B+D mod m and A-C ≡ B-D mod m; (3) if A ≡ B mod m and C ≡ D mod m, then Ax + Cy ≡ Bx + Dy mod m; (4) if A ≡ B mod m and gcd(C, m) = 1, then CA ≡ CB mod m; (5) if P(x) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and A ≡ B mod m, then P(A) ≡ P(B) mod m. The video also covers cyclicity of powers modulo 10, showing that the units digit of powers follows periodic patterns: 2^n cycles through 2,4,8,6 (period 4); 3^n cycles through 3,9,7,1 (period 4); 4^n cycles through 4,6 (period 2); 5^n always ends in 5; 6^n always ends in 6; 7^n cycles through 7,9,3,1 (period 4); 8^n cycles through 8,4,2,6 (period 4); 9^n cycles through 9,1 (period 2).
