We could do it by first writing

[tex]7\cdot15=(4+3)\cdot(4+11)=4^2+14\cdot4+33[/tex]

so that

[tex]7\cdot15\equiv4^2+14\cdot4+33\equiv33\pmod4[/tex]

and since [tex]33=32+1=8\cdot4+1[/tex], we have

[tex]7\cdot15\equiv33\equiv1\pmod4[/tex]

Alternatively, we can just compute the product and take it mod 4:

[tex]7\cdot15=105=104+1=26\cdot4+1[/tex]

and so we get the same result of 1.
