  2. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    The properties involving multiplication, division, and exponentiation generally require that a and n are integers. Identity: (a mod n) mod n = a mod n. nx mod n = 0 for all positive integer values of x. If p is a prime number which is not a divisor of b, then abp−1 mod p = a mod p, due to Fermat's little theorem.

  3. Mark 38 25 mm machine gun system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_38_25_mm_Machine_Gun...

    [4] [3] The latest Mk 38 Mod 3 mounting has further upgraded interfaces and control consoles. The EO/IR sensor and laser rangefinder, integrated with the system's fire-control system, provide a 330-degree view, "even in extremely low light conditions". The surveillance system can move independently of the turret itself, intended to minimize ...

  4. Wilson's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_theorem

    Wilson's theorem. In algebra and number theory, Wilson's theorem states that a natural number n > 1 is a prime number if and only if the product of all the positive integers less than n is one less than a multiple of n. That is (using the notations of modular arithmetic), the factorial satisfies. exactly when n is a prime number.

  5. Montgomery modular multiplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_modular...

    Montgomery modular multiplication relies on a special representation of numbers called Montgomery form. The algorithm uses the Montgomery forms of a and b to efficiently compute the Montgomery form of ab mod N. The efficiency comes from avoiding expensive division operations. Classical modular multiplication reduces the double-width product ab ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Proofs of Fermat's little theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_Fermat's_little...

    Simplifications. Some of the proofs of Fermat's little theorem given below depend on two simplifications. The first is that we may assume that a is in the range 0 ≤ a ≤ p − 1. This is a simple consequence of the laws of modular arithmetic; we are simply saying that we may first reduce a modulo p.

  8. Stadimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadimeter

    A Mk 5 Mod 0 US Navy Stadimeter made in 1942 by Schick Inc. of Stamford CT. The hand held stadimeter was developed by Bradley Allen Fiske (1854–1942), an officer in the United States Navy. It was designed for gunnery purposes, but its first sea tests, conducted in 1895, showed that it was equally useful for fleet sailing and for navigation.

  9. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    The former are ≡ ±1 (mod 12) and the latter are all ≡ ±5 (mod 12). −3 is in rows 7, 13, 19, 31, 37, and 43 but not in rows 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 41, or 47. The former are ≡ 1 (mod 3) and the latter ≡ 2 (mod 3). Since the only residue (mod 3) is 1, we see that −3 is a quadratic residue modulo every prime which is a residue modulo 3.
