Examples of use of Chinese Remainder Theorem

Example: $x \equiv 2 \pmod 3, 3 \pmod 5, 2 \pmod 7$

Consider the system of simultaneous linear congruences:

\(\ds x\) \(\equiv\) \(\ds 2\) \(\ds \pmod 3\)
\(\ds x\) \(\equiv\) \(\ds 3\) \(\ds \pmod 5\)
\(\ds x\) \(\equiv\) \(\ds 2\) \(\ds \pmod 7\)

Then $x \equiv 23 \pmod {105}$
