  2. Lehmer random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    This is an (e + 1)-bit number, which can be greater than m (i.e. might have bit e set), but the high half is at most 1, and if it is, the low e bits will be strictly less than m. Thus whether the high bit is 1 or 0, a second reduction step (addition of the halves) will never overflow e bits, and the sum will be the desired value.

  3. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    A least common multiple of a and b is a common multiple that is minimal, in the sense that for any other common multiple n of a and b, m divides n. In general, two elements in a commutative ring can have no least common multiple or more than one. However, any two least common multiples of the same pair of elements are associates. [10]

  4. Table of prime factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_prime_factors

    lcm(m, n) (least common multiple of m and n) is the product of all prime factors of m or n (with the largest multiplicity for m or n). gcd(m, n) × lcm(m, n) = m × n. Finding the prime factors is often harder than computing gcd and lcm using other algorithms which do not require known prime factorization.

  5. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

    X is always odd (the lowest-order bit never changes), and only one of the next two bits ever changes. If a ≡ +3, X alternates ±1↔±3, while if a ≡ −3, X alternates ±1↔∓3 (all modulo 8). It can be shown that this form is equivalent to a generator with modulus m/4 and c ≠ 0. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

    The z/Architecture, which is the 64-bit member of that architecture family, continues to refer to 16-bit halfwords, 32-bit words, and 64-bit doublewords, and additionally features 128-bit quadwords. In general, new processors must use the same data word lengths and virtual address widths as an older processor to have binary compatibility with ...

  8. Cyclic permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_permutation

    A cyclic permutation consisting of a single 8-cycle. There is not widespread consensus about the precise definition of a cyclic permutation. Some authors define a permutation σ of a set X to be cyclic if "successive application would take each object of the permuted set successively through the positions of all the other objects", [1] or, equivalently, if its representation in cycle notation ...

  9. Integer factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization

    Construct an ambiguous form (a, b, c) that is an element f ∈ G Δ of order dividing 2 to obtain a coprime factorization of the largest odd divisor of Δ in which Δ = −4ac or Δ = a(a − 4c) or Δ = (b − 2a)(b + 2a). If the ambiguous form provides a factorization of n then stop, otherwise find another ambiguous form until the ...
