Answer

n

A set of residues modulo nn (also known as a complete residue system modulo nn) contains all the distinct remainders when integers are divided by nn. These remainders are typically represented by the integers from 00 to n1n-1.

The number of elements in a set of residues modulo nn is equal to nn.

For example, for modulo 5, the set of residues is {0,1,2,3,4}\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\}, which contains 5 elements.

The number of elements is n\boxed{n}.
