Corollary 4.3. Let f(x) = Z[x] and {m₁,...,m} be positive integers such that they are
pairwise co-prime and m = m₁m² mk. Then f(x) = 0 (m) has a solution if and only
if each of the congruences f(x) = 0 (m₂) has a solution. Moreover, if s(m) and s(m₂)
denote the number of solutions of f(x) = 0(m) and f(x) = 0(m₁), respectively, Then
s(m) = s(m₁)s(m₂)... s(mk).
