sage: 520622^430085 % 998171 897985
It is very much faster to do it more like this: sage: R=Integers(998171) sage: a=R(520622) sage: a^430085 897985 The first way (I think) computes 520622^430085 as an integer and then reduces, while the second way constructs the ring of integers mod 998171, defines a as the residue of 520622 in that ring, and then exponentiates.
