fyi, I tired this on Mathematia 8.0.1, this is what it gives

In[1]:= Mod[1/3, 7]
Out[1]= 1/3

In[3]:= Solve[3 x==Mod[1,7],x]
Out[3]= {{x->1/3}}

THe help says

"The arguments of Mod can be any numeric quantities, not necessarily integers"

I guess our lesson is that different software can interpret/define things differently.
