Topic 1 - Modular Arithmetic

This document introduces modular arithmetic. It defines modular arithmetic as an abstraction of counting methods used in everyday situations like determining months or days from a given amount of time. The key aspects covered are: - Modular arithmetic uses the division algorithm and modulus (mod) operator to map integers to a specific range based on the divisor. - Modular operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and exponentiation follow specific properties and can be used to solve problems. - Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating various modular expressions like 23+16 mod 5 to show the application of modular arithmetic concepts.

MODULAR ARITHMETIC

•ANOTHER APPLICATION OF THE DIVISION


ALGORITHM THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO US IS
MODULAR ARITHMETIC. MODULAR ARITHMETIC
IS AN ABSTRACTION OF A METHOD OF
COUNTING THAT YOU OFTEN USE
FOR EXAMPLE
• IF IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER, WHAT MONTH WILL IT BE 25 MONTHS
FROM NOW?

• OF COURSE, THE ANSWER IS OCTOBER, BUT THE INTERESTING


FACT IS THAT YOU DIDN’T ARRIVE AT THE ANSWER BY STARTING
WITH SEPTEMBER AND COUNTING OFF 25 MONTHS.

• INSTEAD,
WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT, YOU SIMPLY
OBSERVED THAT 25=212+1, AND YOU ADDED 1 MONTH TO
SEPTEMBER
FOR EXAMPLE

• If it is now wednesday, you know that in 23 days it will be


friday.
• This time, you arrived at your answer by noting that
23=3+2, so you added 2 days to wednesday instead of
counting off 23 days
WHAT IS MODULAR ARITHMETIC?

•Modular arithmetic is an abstraction of a


method of counting that you often use.
Surprisingly, this simple idea has numerous
important applications in mathematics and
computer science.
THE DIVISION ALGORITHM:
• Given any positive integer n and any nonnegative integer a, if we divide a by n, we
get an integer quotient q and an integer remainder r that obey the following
relationship:

• a=qn+r 0 r<n; q = a / n

• Where x is the largest integer less than or equal to x.


E.G. Let a = 7 and n = 3, then 7 = 2  3 + 1. Here, q = 2 and r = 1,
Let a = 10 and n = 2, then 10 = 5  2 + 0. Here, q = 5 and r = 0,
Let a = -11 and n = 7, then -11 = (-2)  7 + 3. Here, q = -2 and r = 3.
WHAT IS MODULAR ARITHMETIC?

•When a=qn+r, where q is the


quotient and r is the remainder
upon dividing a by n, we write
a mod n = r.
EXAMPLE
3 mod 2 = 1 since 3= 1∙2+1
6 mod 2=0 since 6=3∙2+0,
11 mod 3=2 since 11=3∙3+2,
62 mod 85=62 since 62=0∙85+62,
-2 mod 15 = 13 since -2 =(-1)15+13

r:remainder

Modular arithmetic
operations:
• The (mod n) operation maps all integers into the set of integers
{0, 1, … , (n -1)}. The modular arithmetic exhibits the following
properties:
find (39 + 1 4 ) m o d 4
find (23+1 6 ) m o d 5
+ 1 5 m od 1 1 )m od 1 1
find (23 mod 11
find (39 - 1 4 ) m o d 4
find (23- 1 6 ) m o d 3
