The book kindly solves this problem for us in Example 6 on p357.


could you provide some more insight? I am still confused on this one...

follow the example but change the mod value


You should end up with 2+ beta + beta^2 as a remainder (but that is equal to zero)...at least that's what I got. I think you're on the right track if you get there.
