The Chinese remainder theorem is widely used for computing with large integers, as it allows replacing a computation for which one knows a bound on the size of the result by several similar computations on small integers. The Chinese remainder theorem (expressed in terms of congruences) is true over every principal ideal domain.
A residue numeral system (RNS) is a numeral system representing integers by their values modulo several pairwise coprime integers called the moduli. This representation is allowed by the Chinese remainder theorem, which asserts that, if M is the product of the moduli, there is, in an interval of length M, exactly one integer having any given set of modular values.
Secret sharing consists of recovering a secret S from a set of shares, each containing partial information about the secret. The Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) states that for a given system of simultaneous congruence equations, the solution is unique in some Z/nZ, with n > 0 under some appropriate conditions on the congruences.
In mathematical logic, Gödel's β function is a function used to permit quantification over finite sequences of natural numbers in formal theories of arithmetic. The β function is used, in particular, in showing that the class of arithmetically definable functions is closed under primitive recursion, and therefore includes all primitive recursive functions.
A mathematical manual called Sunzi mathematical classic dated between 200 and 400 CE contained the earliest description of the Chinese remainder theorem and a detailed step-by-step description of multiplication and division algorithms with counting rods.
The Chinese remainder theorem appears as an exercise [16] in Sunzi Suanjing (between the third and fifth centuries). [17] (There is one important step glossed over in Sunzi's solution: [note 4] it is the problem that was later solved by Āryabhaṭa's Kuṭṭaka – see below.)
In mathematics, Helmut Hasse's local–global principle, also known as the Hasse principle, is the idea that one can find an integer solution to an equation by using the Chinese remainder theorem to piece together solutions modulo powers of each different prime number.
Of the elementary combinatorial proofs, there are two which apply types of double counting.One by Gotthold Eisenstein counts lattice points.Another applies Zolotarev's lemma to (/), expressed by the Chinese remainder theorem as (/) (/) and calculates the signature of a permutation.
