### RSA Algorithm Exercise

Consider the primes \( p = 5 \) and \( q = 11 \). Let \( e = 3 \).

(a) Here are the steps to follow:

1. **Compute \( pq \) and \( (p - 1)(q - 1) \).**
   \[
   pq = 5 \times 11 = 55
   \]
   \[
   (p - 1)(q - 1) = (5 - 1)(11 - 1) = 4 \times 10 = 40
   \]

2. **Prove that \( \gcd(e, (p - 1)(q - 1)) = 1 \).**
   - The greatest common divisor (gcd) is computed as follows:
     \[
     \gcd(3, 40) = 1
     \]
     Since 3 and 40 are coprime (they have no common divisors other than 1), \( \gcd(3, 40) = 1 \) holds true.

3. **Compute the smallest positive integer \( d \) such that \[ de \equiv 1 \pmod{(p - 1)(q - 1)} \]**

   - This means we need to find \( d \) such that:
     \[
     de \equiv 1 \pmod{40}
     \]
     - Equivalently,
     \[
     3d \equiv 1 \pmod{40}
     \]
     - The goal is to find the multiplicative inverse of 3 mod 40:
     \[
     3d \equiv 1 \pmod{40}
     \]
     - By using the extended Euclidean algorithm or trial and error, \( d \) can be found. In this case, 
     \[
     d = 27
     \]
     because 
     \[
     (3 \times 27) \equiv 81 \equiv 1 \pmod{40}
     \]

Thus, the smallest positive integer \( d \) that satisfies these conditions is \( d = 27 \).

These steps illustrate a simplified example of the principles underlying the RSA encryption algorithm.
