Remainder / Modular Arithmetic [ ] * + [ ] * + [ ] * + [ ] * + Case 1 When the dividend (M) and divisor (N) have a factor in common (k) ? * + * + * + Example: * + * + 0 Case 2 When the divisor can be broken down into smaller co-prime factors. ? * + * + {HCF (a,b) = 1} ? Let * + * + ? * + {Such that ax+by = 1} Example: * + * + ? * + * + * + ? * + {Such that 3x+5y=1} ? Valid values are x = -3 and y = 2 ? * + Case 3 Remainder when ( ) is divided by ( ) the remainder is ( ) Funda: If f(a) = 0, (x-a) is a factor of f(x) Continued >>
