  2. Fermat's factorization method - Wikipedia

    It is apparent that only the 4 from this list can be a square. Thus, a 2 {\displaystyle a^{2}} must be 1 mod 20, which means that a is 1, 9, 11 or 19 mod 20; it will produce a b 2 {\displaystyle b^{2}} which ends in 4 mod 20 and, if square, b will end in 2 or 8 mod 10.

  3. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    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 ] For example, the expression "5 mod 2" evaluates to 1, because 5 divided by 2 has a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 mod 3" would evaluate to 0 ...

  4. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Adding 4 hours to 9 o'clock gives 1 o'clock, since 13 is congruent to 1 modulo 12. In mathematics, modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" when reaching a certain value, called the modulus. The modern approach to modular arithmetic was developed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in his book Disquisitiones ...

  5. Multiplicative group of integers modulo n - Wikipedia

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

    n. In modular arithmetic, the integers coprime (relatively prime) to n from the set of n non-negative integers form a group under multiplication modulo n, called the multiplicative group of integers modulo n. Equivalently, the elements of this group can be thought of as the congruence classes, also known as residues modulo n, that are coprime to n.

  6. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_multiplicative_inverse

    Modular multiplicative inverse. In mathematics, particularly in the area of arithmetic, a modular multiplicative inverse of an integer a is an integer x such that the product ax is congruent to 1 with respect to the modulus m. [1] In the standard notation of modular arithmetic this congruence is written as.

  7. Quadratic residue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_residue

    Let p be an odd prime. The quadratic excess E (p) is the number of quadratic residues on the range (0, p /2) minus the number in the range (p /2, p) (sequence A178153 in the OEIS). For p congruent to 1 mod 4, the excess is zero, since −1 is a quadratic residue and the residues are symmetric under r ↔ p − r.

  8. Mersenne prime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_prime

    Since for these primes p, 2p + 1 is congruent to 7 mod 8, so 2 is a quadratic residue mod 2p + 1, and the multiplicative order of 2 mod 2p + 1 must divide (+) =. Since p is a prime, it must be p or 1. However, it cannot be 1 since () = and 1 has no prime factors, so it must be p.

  9. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    The remainder using polynomial arithmetic modulo 2 is K(x) mod Z(x) = h m−1 x m−1 + ⋯ h 1 x + h 0. Then h(K) = (h m−1 …h 1 h 0) 2. If Z(x) is constructed to have t or fewer non-zero coefficients, then keys which share fewer than t bits are guaranteed to not collide.
