Modular equation[edit]

What is the most efficient way to solve for a, in equations of the form (2^a) == 3^b (mod c), b and c coprime? 70.190.182.236 (talk) 19:43, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And I know that this is a discrete logarithm problem, but does the specific form of 2^a / 3^b have a better solution? 70.190.182.236 (talk) 22:10, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
