  2. Quadratic reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_reciprocity

    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. q = ±5. 5 is in rows 11, 19, 29, 31, and 41 but not in rows 3, 7, 13, 17, 23, 37, 43, or 47. The former are ≡ ±1 (mod 5) and the latter are ≡ ±2 (mod 5).

  3. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Time-keeping on this clock uses arithmetic modulo 12. 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 ...

  4. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    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, because 9 divided by 3 has a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Although typically performed with a and n both being integers, many computing systems now allow other types of numeric operands.

  5. Chinese remainder theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_remainder_theorem

    Sunzi's original formulation: x ≡ 2 (mod 3) ≡ 3 (mod 5) ≡ 2 (mod 7) with the solution x = 23 + 105k, with k an integer In mathematics, the Chinese remainder theorem states that if one knows the remainders of the Euclidean division of an integer n by several integers, then one can determine uniquely the remainder of the division of n by the product of these integers, under the condition ...

  7. Quadratic residue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_residue

    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. Wilson's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson's_theorem

    The result is trivial when p = 2, so assume p is an odd prime, p ≥ 3. Since the residue classes (mod p) are a field, every non-zero a has a unique multiplicative inverse, a −1. Lagrange's theorem implies that the only values of a for which a ≡ a −1 (mod p) are a ≡ ±1 (mod p) (because the congruence a 2 ≡ 1 can have at most two ...

  9. Euler's criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_criterion

    In number theory, Euler's criterion is a formula for determining whether an integer is a quadratic residue modulo a prime. Precisely, Let p be an odd prime and a be an integer coprime to p. Then [1] [2] [3] Euler's criterion can be concisely reformulated using the Legendre symbol: [4] The criterion dates from a 1748 paper by Leonhard Euler.
