The parameters of the system are p=31847, =5, a=7899 and = 18074. Each element of Zn represents three alphabetic characters encoded as in the following examples:
DOG 3262 +1426+6 = 2398 CAT 2262+026+19 = 1371 ZZZ 25262 +2526+25 = 17575
You will need to invert this process as the final step in your program.
