RSA: (1/192) = k mod 7
whats k?
I ran it through a calculator and the answer is 5.
I am not very experienced with modular arithmetic but
I assume that this is because
First I will rearrange the equation
(1/192) = k mod 7
1 = 192k mod7
192k = 1 mod7 and this means that
192k divided by 7 will have a remainder of 1
now
192*5 divided by 7 = 960 divided by 7 = 137 remainder 1
with modular arithmetic it is the remainder that is important.

I may return to this question later, like i said, I am not very familiar with modular arithmetic.
