VTRMC 2018 Problem 2

    Let A,B∈M6(Z)A, B \in M_6 (\mathbb{Z} ) such that A≡I≡B mod 3A \equiv I \equiv B \text{ mod }3 and A3B3A3=B3A^3 B^3 A^3 = B^3 . Prove that A=IA = I . Here M6(Z)M_6 (\mathbb{Z} ) indicates the 66 by 66 matrices with integer entries, II is the identity matrix, and X≡Y mod 3X \equiv Y \text{ mod }3 means all entries of X−YX-Y are divisible by 33 .
