THE CHINESE REMAINDER THEOREM
Since (m; n) = 1 we know m mod n is invertible Let m0 be an inverse for m mod n so mm0 1 mod n Multiplying through (2 1) by m0 we have y m0(b a) mod n so m0(b a) + nz where z 2 Z Then = a + my = a + m(m0(b a) + nz) = a + mm0(b a) + mnz: So if x satis es the original two congruences it must have this form |

Modular Arithmetic

What is mod N?
Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor.
Why is 1 mod n 1?
"1 modulo anything (or 1%N) is 1" - unless N is 1, in which case the result is zero.
The key thing to understand is that in mathematical notation, (mod n) applies to both sides of an expression, even though it's usually only written on the right-hand side (see Confused about modular notations).If n is a positive integer, we say the integers a and b are congruent modulo n, and write a≡b(modn), if they have the same remainder on division by n. (By remainder, of course, we mean the unique number r defined by the Division Algorithm.)
