# Modulo N Calculator

## Modular Exponentiation a^b mod n

Tool to compute any modulo operation. Modulo is the name of the calculus of the remainder in the Euclidean division. The modulo calculator returns the rest of the integer division.

### How to calculate a Modulo A % N?

Method 1: Perform euclidean division and returns the remainder.

Example: Calculate $A=123 \mod N=4$, perform the Euclidean division of $123 / 4$ : $123 = 30 \times 4 + 3$ (the quotient is $30$, and the remainder is $3$). The modulo is the value of the remainder, so $123 \% 4 \equiv 3$.

The negative modulo can be considered (rare), in this case $123 = 31 \times 4 - 1$, so $123 \% 4 \equiv -1$.

dCode uses this method that applies to both large numbers, as point numbers for A. However, N be a natural number.

Method 2: Perform the integer division and calculate the value of the difference.

Example: Calculate $A=123 \mod N=4$, make the division: $123/4 = 30.75$. Keep the integer part $30$, and multiply by $N=4$, $30 \times 4=120$. The difference between $123$ and $120$ is $3$, so $123 \% 4 = 3$.

### How to write a modulo?

A modulo (from latin modulus) calculation can be written differently:

In Mathematics, write it using the $\equiv$ congruence symbol and the keyword mod :

$$123 \ equiv 3 \mod 10$$

For computer, write the % percentage symbol, easily accessible on a keyboard:

$$123 \% 10 = 3$$

In functional programming, for integers there is often the function mod() and for floating point numbers, the function fmod().

On calculators, it is often implemented with the function mod():

$$\mod (123,10) = 3$$

### How to calculate a^b mod n?

This calculus is named modular exponentiation, use the dCode page dedicated to modular exponentiation.

### Where is the modulo in operators precedence order?

In most computation languages, the modulo operator % has the same precedence as the multiplication or division operations.
