congruence

Definición

Given an integer $n > 1$ , called a modulus, two integers $a$ and $b$ are said to be congruent modulo $n$ , if $n$ is a divisor of their difference: that is, if there is an integer $k$ such that:
${\\displaystyle a-b=kn.}$
Congruence modulo $n$ is a congruence relation, meaning that it is an equivalence relation that is compatible with the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Congruence modulo $n$ is denoted:
${\\displaystyle a\\equiv b{\\pmod {n}}.}$
The parentheses mean that $(mod n)$ applies to the entire equation, not just to the right-hand side (here, $b$ ).
