Corollary 4.3. Let f(x) € Zr] and {mma} be positive integers such that they are
pairwise co-prime and m = mmm. Then f(1) = 0 (m) has a solution if and only
if each of the congruences f(x) = 0 (m.) has a solution. Moreover, if s(m) and s(m.)
denote the number of solutions of f(x) = 0(m) and f(x) = 0(m.), respectively. Then
s(m) = s(m₁)s(m₂)...s(m.).
