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.
For algorithms describing how to calculate the remainder, see Division algorithm.) The remainder, as defined above, is called the least positive remainder or simply the remainder . [ 2 ] The integer a is either a multiple of d , or lies in the interval between consecutive multiples of d , namely, q ⋅ d and ( q + 1) d (for positive q ).
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 .
The Hermite interpolation problem is a problem of linear algebra that has the coefficients of the interpolation polynomial as unknown variables and a confluent Vandermonde matrix as its matrix. [3] The general methods of linear algebra, and specific methods for confluent Vandermonde matrices are often used for computing the interpolation ...
Magma contains asymptotically fast algorithms for all fundamental dense matrix operations, such as Strassen multiplication. Sparse matrices Magma contains the structured Gaussian elimination and Lanczos algorithms for reducing sparse systems which arise in index calculus methods, while Magma uses Markowitz pivoting for several other sparse ...
If A is an m × n matrix and B is a p × q matrix, then the Kronecker product A ⊗ B is the pm × qn block matrix: = [], more explicitly: = []. Using / / and % to denote truncating integer division and remainder, respectively, and numbering the matrix elements starting from 0, one obtains
The only exception is the final conditional subtraction of the modulus, but it is easily modified (to always subtract something, either the modulus or zero) to make it resistant. [4] It is of course necessary to ensure that the exponentiation algorithm built around the multiplication primitive is also resistant. [4] [6]
