by N. S. Mendelsohn (University of Manitoba)

This article originally appeared in:
College Mathematics Journal
November, 1988

Subject classification(s): Number Theory | Algebra and Number Theory
Applicable Course(s): 4.3 Number Theory

Many calculations in number theory have different rules for different residue class mod an integer \(r\). The author shows how to combine these cases using a single amalgamated formula.
