PUZZLE #4052: PGP RSA Cipher (diff 2)

pgp learn difficulty: 2/7 mixed author: system unsolved

PGP-style RSA encrypted message. Factor the modulus to recover the private key and decrypt.

DATA
Public Key N 9167
Public Key E 65537
Ciphertext 14
Algorithm RSA
Key Size Bits 14
Hint RSA decryption: factor n into p and q, compute phi, find d via modular inverse, decrypt c to get m. m mod 26 (A=0) gives the answer letter.
Answer Format single lowercase letter (decrypt the RSA ciphertext)
