solving quadratic congruence but overflows

45 Views Asked by At

I am solving $x^2 \equiv a\pmod{p}$, here $a = 73$ and $p = 370370384407407431$.

My Mathematica code is

x = Mod[a^((p + 1)/4), p]

but it overflows.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the algorithm so that it can solve the large numbers? Thank you a lot!
