Naturally, any integer 
larger than 127 will return 
, and of course 
, so we restrict the possible solutions to 
.
Now,
is the same as saying there exists some integer
such that
We have
which means that any that satisfies the modular equivalence must be a divisor of 120, of which there are 16: 
.
In the cases where the modulus is smaller than the remainder 7, we can see that the equivalence still holds. For instance,
(If we're allowing
, then I see no reason we shouldn't also allow 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.)
