In number theory, two integers a and b are congruent modulo m (written as a ≡ b (mod m)) if and only if m divides (a - b), meaning they leave the same remainder when divided by m. This congruence relation satisfies key properties: reflexivity (a ≡ a), symmetry (a ≡ b implies b ≡ a), transitivity (a ≡ b and b ≡ c implies a ≡ c), and compatibility with addition and multiplication (a ≡ b implies a+c ≡ b+c and ac ≡ bc). Additionally, for any integer n, n³ - n is always divisible by 6, meaning n³ ≡ n (mod 6), which demonstrates that a number and its cube leave the same remainder when divided by 6.
