Please explain/show how to approach this problem!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Assuming addition as the operation, we want to find all elements b in Z_15 where
5b = 0 (mod 15).
[Since 5 is prime, no smaller positive integer n can possibly work where nb = 0 (mod 15).]
In this case, we find that b = 3, 6, 9, or 12 (mod 15).
I hope this helps!
