Quadratic Residues, $y^2 \equiv q \bmod p,$

78 Views Asked by At

Given $p$, $q$ and $$ y^2 \equiv q \bmod p, $$ how to solve for the values of $y$?

I can do it manually with small numbers, but with large numbers is not applicable, since there is a mathematical way, could you please help me in this?
