Answers to Questions
What is the modular Inverse? (Definition)
The value of the inverse modular of \( a \) by the modulo \( n \) is the value \( u \) such as $$ u \equiv a^{-1} \pmod n \\ a u \equiv 1 \pmod n $$
How to calculate a modular inverse?
To calculate the value of the modulo inverse, use the gcd" target="_blank">extended euclidean algorithm which find solutions to the Bezout identity \( au + bv = \text{G.C.D.}(a, b) \). Here, the gcd value is known, it is 1 : \( \text{G.C.D.}(a, b) = 1 \), thus, only the value of \( u \) is needed.
Example: \( 3^-1 \equiv 4 \mod 11 \) because \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \) and \( 12 \equiv 1 \mod 11 \)
dCode uses the gcd" target="_blank">Extended Euclidean algorithm for its inverse modulo N calculator and arbitrary precision functions to get results with big integers.
How to calculate v?
Use the Bezout identity, also available on dCode.
What does invmod mean?
The keyword invmod is the abbreviation of inverse modular.
What is a multiplicative inverse?
A multiplicative inverse is the other name of a modular inverse.
