MODULAR ARITHMETIC INSTRUCTOR: K.A GYAN AKWANDA (MR.)

Introduction:

(i) Clock arithmetic is a typical example of modular arithmetic. In clock arithmetic every whole number is equivalent to a whole number less than 12.

In modulus 12 , every whole number is equivalent to one of 0,1,2, ….. , 11. Any multiple of 12 is equivalent to 0. Thus, 24 = 0 (modulus 12)

In clock arithmetic 6 + 7 =m1 (mod 12) i.e.we take the reminder after division by 12. In modular arithmetic, we use and for addition and multiplication respectively. Thus, 6 7 = 1 (mod 12) and 4 3 = 0 (mod 12)

Generally, to do arithmetic, in modulus n we do the ordinary arithmetic and if the result is more than n, find the remainder on division by n. The result would be in the set 0,1,2, ….., n-1

(ii) Week arithmetic ( using the days of the week) is arithmetic modulus 7. Here any whole number is equivalent to one of 0, 1, 2, ….., 5. Any multiple of 7 is equivalentto 0.

Modular Table

Modular arithmetic can beshown in combination tables under addition and multiplication .

For example, for addition modulus 5, the results are from set 0,1,2,3,.4.

/ 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
0 / 0 / 0 / 2 / 3 / 4
1 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 0
2 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 0 / 1
3 / 3 / 4 / 0 / 1 / 2
4 / 4 / 0 / 1 / 2 / 3

QUESTION 1:

Construct and tables for modulus 6. Use the tables to solve the following equations

in arithmeticmodulus 6.

i) x x = (mod 6)

ii) x 4 = ( mod 6)

iii) 2 x = (mod 6)

iv) x x = (mod 6)

i) 3 x = (mod 6)

ii) x x = (mod 6)

QUESTION 2:

Construct the combination tables for the set 0,1, 2, 3,4, under addition (mod 5) and the set

1, 2, 3, 4 under addition (mod 5).

Use the tables to solve the following equations in arithmetic modulus 5.

i)x x = 1 (mod 5)

ii)x 3 = 2 ( mod 5)

iii)2 x = 1 (mod 5)

iv)x x = 4 (mod 5)

v)x x = 2 (mod 5)

vi)2 = x 4
