bmod
Represents the binary modulo operation, displaying division remainders with proper mathematical spacing.
Overview
Serves as a binary operator in number theory and computer science contexts, providing correct mathematical spacing around the modulo operation.
- Essential for expressing congruence relations and modular arithmetic.
- Preferred over the basic mod operator when writing formal mathematical expressions.
- Commonly used in cryptography, discrete mathematics, and algorithmic problems.
- Automatically adds appropriate spacing before and after the operator, unlike the basic \mod command.
Examples
Expressing a congruence relation in modular arithmetic.
x \equiv 3 \bmod 7Computing remainders in a number theory equation.
15 \bmod 4 = 3Showing periodic behavior in a mathematical sequence.
f(n) = n \bmod 12
