In computing, the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, called the modulus of the operation. Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor. [1]
Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
and −2 is the least absolute remainder. In the division of 42 by 5, we have: 42 = 8 × 5 + 2, and since 2 < 5/2, 2 is both the least positive remainder and the least absolute remainder. In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the least positive remainder by subtracting 5, which is d. This holds in general.
Modular exponentiation is the remainder when an integer b (the base) is raised to the power e (the exponent), and divided by a positive integer m (the modulus); that is, c = b e mod m. From the definition of division, it follows that 0 ≤ c < m. For example, given b = 5, e = 3 and m = 13, dividing 5 3 = 125 by 13 leaves a remainder of c = 8.
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.
where 0 ≤ r < m is the common remainder. We recover the previous relation ( a − b = k m ) by subtracting these two expressions and setting k = p − q . Because the congruence modulo m is defined by the divisibility by m and because −1 is a unit in the ring of integers, a number is divisible by − m exactly if it is divisible by m .
The finite field with p n elements is denoted GF(p n) and is also called the Galois field of order p n, in honor of the founder of finite field theory, Évariste Galois.GF(p), where p is a prime number, is simply the ring of integers modulo p.
To maximise computation speed, an intermediate remainder can be calculated by first computing the CRC of the message modulo a sparse polynomial which is a multiple of the CRC polynomial. For CRC-32, the polynomial x 123 + x 111 + x 92 + x 84 + x 64 + x 46 + x 23 + 1 has the property that its terms (feedback taps) are at least 8 positions apart.
