Sign in to saveAlso known as clock arithmetic, modulo arithmetic, mathematics in clocks
system of algebraic operations defined for remainders under division by a fixed positive integer; system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers "wrap around" upon reaching a certain value—the modulus
AI overview
Modular arithmetic is a system where numbers wrap around when they reach a certain fixed value, called the modulus, so you only work with the remainders left after division. It's useful because it simplifies problems involving cycles and patterns, such as telling time on a clock or organizing data in computer science.
