SUB-TOPIC 1 & 2:

Define the term modular arithmetic

Modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers “wrap around” when they reach a certain value—the modulus (plural: moduli). In contrast, standard arithmetic uses a fixed number set (like the natural numbers 1, 2, 3,…), while modular arithmetic uses a number set that has been “cycled” by a certain integer. If this integer is relatively prime to the modulus, then all the integers in the set are relatively prime to the modulus as well, and the set behaves like an ordinary number set under addition and multiplication. However, if two numbers in the set are not relatively prime to the modulus, then they will “collide” when they are added or multiplied together, and the results will be reduced modulo the modulus.

Interactive Questions and Answers

Questions

2. What is standard arithmetic?
3. How do numbers “wrap around” in modular arithmetic?
4. What is the difference between modular arithmetic and standard arithmetic?
5. What happens when two numbers in the modular arithmetic set are not relatively prime to the modulus?

Answers

1. The modulus is the value that numbers “wrap around” to when they reach a certain point in modular arithmetic.

2. Standard arithmetic is a system of arithmetic that uses a fixed number set (like the natural numbers 1, 2, 3,…).

3. In modular arithmetic, numbers “wrap around” when they reach a certain value—the modulus.

4. The difference between modular arithmetic and standard arithmetic is that modular arithmetic uses a number set that has been “cycled” by a certain integer, while standard arithmetic uses a fixed number set.

5. When two numbers in the modular arithmetic set are not relatively prime to the modulus, they will “collide” when they are added or multiplied together, and the results will be reduced modulus.

 

Addition of integers in modular mathematics

In modular arithmetic, addition is performed by taking the sum of two numbers and then reducing that sum modulo the modulus. So, if the modulus is 10 and two numbers being added together are 3 and 7, the sum would be 10 (3 + 7 = 10), and since 10 is equal to 0 modulo 10, the answer would be 0.

Here are five examples of addition in modular arithmetic:

If the modulus is 10 and the numbers being added are 3 and 7, the sum is 10 (3 + 7 = 10), and since 10 is equal to 0 modulo 10, the answer is 0.

If the modulus is 7 and the numbers being added are 5 and 3, the sum is 2 (5 + 3 = 8), and since 8 is equal to 2 modulo 7, the answer is 2.

If the modulus is 3 and the numbers being added are 2 and 1, the sum is 0 (2 + 1 = 3), and since 3 is equal to 0 modulo 3, the answer is 0.

If the modulus is 5 and the numbers being added are 4 and 3, the sum is 2 (4 + 3 = 7), and since 7 is equal to 2 modulo 5, the answer is 2.

If the modulus is 9 and the numbers being added are 7 and 5, the sum is 3 (7 + 5 = 12), and since 12 is equal to 3 modulo 9, the answer is 3.

Subtraction of integers in modular mathematics

In modular arithmetic, subtraction is performed by taking the difference of two numbers and then reducing that difference modulo the modulus. So, if the modulus is 10 and two numbers being subtracted have values of 7 and 3, the difference would be 4 (7 – 3 = 4), and since 4 is equal to 4 modulo 10, the answer would be 4.

Here are five examples of subtraction in modular arithmetic:

If the modulus is 10 and the numbers being subtracted have values of 7 and 3, the difference is 4 (7 – 3 = 4), and since 4 is equal to 4 modulo 10, the answer is 4.

If the modulus is 7 and the numbers being subtracted have values of 5 and 3, the difference is 2 (5 – 3 = 2), and since 2 is equal to 2 modulo 7, the answer is 2.

If the modulus is 3 and the numbers being subtracted have values of 2 and 1, the difference is 0 (2 – 1 = 1), and since 1 is equal to 0 modulo 3, the answer is 0.

If the modulus is 5 and the numbers being subtracted have values of 4 and 3, the difference is 1 (4 – 3 = 1), and since 1 is equal to 1 modulo 5, the answer is 1.

If the modulus is 9 and the numbers being subtracted have values of 7 and 5, the difference is 4 (7 – 5 = 2), and since 2 is equal to 4 modulo 9, the answer is 4.

Multiplication of integers in modular mathematics

In modular arithmetic, multiplication is performed by taking the product of two numbers and then reducing that product modulus. So, if the modulus is 10 and two numbers being multiplied have values of 3 and 7, the product would be 21 (3 x 7 = 21), and since 21 is equal to 1 modulo 10, the answer would be 1.

Here are five examples of multiplication in modular arithmetic:

If the modulus is 10 and the numbers being multiplied have values of 3 and 7, the product is 21 (3 x 7 = 21), and since 21 is equal to 1 modulo 10, the answer is 1.

If the modulus is 7 and the numbers being multiplied have values of 5 and 3, the product is 6 (5 x 3 = 15), and since 15 is equal to 6 modulo 7, the answer is 6.

If the modulus is 3 and the numbers being multiplied have values of 2 and 1, the product is 0 (2 x 1 = 2), and since 2 is equal to 0 modulo 3, the answer is 0.

If the modulus is 5 and the numbers being multiplied have values of 4 and 3, the product is 3 (4 x 3 = 12), and since 12 is equal to 3 modulo 5, the answer is 3.

If the modulus is 9 and the numbers being multiplied have values of 7 and 5, the product is 8 (7 x 5 = 35), and since 35 is equal to 8 modulo 9, the answer is 8.

Division of integers in modular mathematics

In modular arithmetic, division is performed by multiplying the numerator by the modular inverse of the denominator and then reducing that product modulo the modulus. So, if the modulus is 10 and two numbers being divided have values of 7 and 3, the product would be 9 (7 x 3 = 21), and since 21 is equal to 1 modulo 10, the answer would be 1.

Here are five examples of division in modular arithmetic:

If the modulus is 10 and the numbers being divided have values of 7 and 3, the product is 9 (7 x 3 = 21), and since 21 is equal to 1 modulo 10, the answer is 1.

If the modulus is 7 and the numbers being divided have values of 5 and 3, the product is 2 (5 x 3 = 15), and since 15 is equal to 6 modulo 7, the answer is 2.

If the modulus is 3 and the numbers being divided have values of 2 and 1, the product is 0 (2 x 1 = 2), and since 2 is equal to 0 modulo 3, the answer is 0.

If the modulus is 5 and the numbers being divided have values of 4 and 3, the product is 1 (4 x 3 = 12), and since 12 is equal to 3 modulo 5, the answer is 1.

If the modulus is 9 and the numbers being divided have values of 7 and 5, the product is 4 (7 x 5 = 35), and since 35 is equal to 8 modulo 9, the answer is 4.

 

SUB-TOPIC 3: Concept of Modular Arithmetic

The word Modular implies consisting of separate parts or units which can be put together to form something, often in different combinations.

Arithmetic the science of numbers involving adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing of numbers

Modular Arithmetic is simply the arithmetic of remainders when an integer is divided by a fixed non-zero integer.

In modular arithmetic, conversion is the process of taking a number in one base and expressing it in another base. So, if the number to be converted is 12 and the original base is 10 (decimal), the number would be expressed as 14 in base 2 (binary), 3 in base 3 (ternary), 10 in base 4 (quaternary), and 11 in base 5 (quinary).

 

Here are five examples of conversion in modular arithmetic:

 

If the number to be converted is 12 and the original base is 10 (decimal), the number would be expressed as 14 in base 2 (binary), 3 in base 3 (ternary), 10 in base 4 (quaternary), and 11 in base 5 (quinary).

 

If the number to be converted is 11 and the original base is 2 (binary), the number would be expressed as 3 in base 10 (decimal), 12 in base 3 (ternary), 21 in base 4 (quaternary), and 31 in base 5 (quinary).

 

If the number to be converted is 10 and the original base is 3 (ternary), the number would be expressed as 4 in base 10 (decimal), 11 in base 2 (binary), 22 in base 4 (quaternary), and 101 in base 5 (quinary).

 

If the number is converted to quinary,

 

If the number to be converted is 10 and the original base is 3 (ternary), the number would be expressed as 4 in base 10 (decimal), 11 in base 2 (binary), 22 in base 4 (quaternary), and 101 in base 5 (quinary).

 

If the number is converted to quinary,

 

If the number to be converted is 100 and the original base is 4 (quaternary), the number would be expressed as 16 in base 10 (decimal), 100 in base 2 (binary), 41 in base 3 (ternary), and 11 in base 5 (quinary).
