If i have A mod B = X , can i find A , assuming that i know B and X ?
For example A mod 512 = 300 , is it possible to find A , how?

Are you searching for unique value of "A"?

There are infinitely many values of A that will work; the most obvious of them is 300! Can you see what the next one will be? Think about the meaning of "modulo". (If you aren't sure, write back and tell us what definition you were given.)
