Euclidean algorithm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

$\lambda (n) = 780$

e=17, 780/17 nearest integer

17*45=765

780=17*45+15

17=15*1+2

15=2*7+1

7=1*7+0

now we got 1

Now applying back substitution

1 = 15 - 2*7

$\Rightarrow 15 - 7*(17-15*1)$

1=$15-7*17+15*7 \Rightarrow 8*(15)-7*17$

1=$8*(780-17*45)-7*17 \Rightarrow 8*(780)-367*(17)$

It is last step we got an equation 1=p(x)+q(y)

p=8 q=-367

taking q mod 780 = d

- 367 mod 780 = 413

It looks bit complicated and but keep practicing you will do it lot faster.
