  2. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    In modular arithmetic, the modular multiplicative inverse of a is also defined: it is the number x such that ax ≡ 1 (mod n). This multiplicative inverse exists if and only if a and n are coprime. For example, the inverse of 3 modulo 11 is 4 because 4 ⋅ 3 ≡ 1 (mod 11). The extended Euclidean algorithm may be used to compute it.

  3. Formal power series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_power_series

    Once we have defined multiplication for formal power series, we can define multiplicative inverses as follows. The multiplicative inverse of a formal power series A is a formal power series C such that AC = 1, provided that such a formal power series exists. It turns out that if A has a multiplicative inverse, it is unique, and we denote it by ...

  4. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    t 2 = 6 is the modular multiplicative inverse of 5 × 11 (mod 7) and t 3 = 6 is the modular multiplicative inverse of 5 × 7 (mod 11). Thus, X = 3 × (7 × 11) × 4 + 6 × (5 × 11) × 4 + 6 × (5 × 7) × 6 = 3504. and in its unique reduced form X ≡ 3504 ≡ 39 (mod 385) since 385 is the LCM of 5,7 and 11. Also, the modular multiplicative ...

  5. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    Sometimes these are called inverse powers of two because each is the multiplicative inverse of a positive power of two. ... 2 3 = 8, 2 6 = 64 and 2 11 = 2048. [12]

  6. Ring (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    A unit is an element a having a multiplicative inverse; in this case the inverse is unique, and is denoted by a –1. ... 2, 3}) is a homomorphism from the ring ...

  7. Multiplicative group of integers modulo n - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_group_of...

    The set {3,19} generates the group, which means that every element of (/) is of the form 3 a × 19 b (where a is 0, 1, 2, or 3, because the element 3 has order 4, and similarly b is 0 or 1, because the element 19 has order 2). Smallest primitive root mod n are (0 if no root exists)

  8. Square root of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_2

    This gives a lower bound of ⁠ 1 / 3b 2 ... The multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the square root of two is a widely used constant, with the decimal value: [20]

  9. Unit (ring theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_(ring_theory)

    The multiplicative identity 1 and its additive inverse −1 are always units. More generally, any root of unity in a ring R is a unit: if r n = 1, then r n−1 is a multiplicative inverse of r. In a nonzero ring, the element 0 is not a unit, so R × is not closed under addition.
