Multiplication and modulo - Order of operations
$begingroup$
Simple question
I have $$acdot bcdot c;mod;p$$
How do I interpret this? Do i read it as this $$(abc);mod;p$$ or is it $$acdot bcdot (c;mod;p)$$
Or do I completely misunderstand modular arithmetic?
Thanks!

Yes, it's $(a b c) mod p$. In fact
$$
x mod p =(x)mod p text{ for any expression } x
$$

Oh brilliant explanation by generalising x as any expression

You can see this as $a*b*c(mod p)$ or $a(mod p) *b(mod p)* c(mod p)$.

You can see this as $a*b*c(mod p)$ or $a(mod p) *b(mod p)* c(mod p)$.
