How does Modular Arithmetic work?

There are now 10 videos in the series for you to enjoy - all available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKqbfplsgdJof5o

[@adrianalapuerta35]

I'm genuinely really impressed by how well you explained this. well done and thank you.

[@TomRocksMaths]

You're very welcome Adriana :)

[@marnierogers3931]

Just watched a 30min uni lecture explaining this twice ... still didn't get it. Watched the first 4 mins of this and understand completely. Cheers!

[@adhiyanthaprabhujeyashanka2091]

I have seen so many videos, but no one explained it as clear as you did, what I liked is the fact that you also included examples with negative numbers, and adding that a congruent to b (mod n) where b is negative is also true, but we don't usually put -ve values for b(the remainder when a is divided by n)

[@DadsCornerLew]

Holy crap, always assumed modular arithmetic was super confusing, but you explained it so well it actually seems like fun.

[@doodelay]

I love how THOROUGHLY you explained the concept long before you gave the equation. I will definitely take this pedagogic lesson along with me now

[@TomRocksMaths]

Thanks!

[@ihrtashleylu]

i always knew that modular arithmetic had something to do with remainders, and im a visual learner so i loved the way you used the clock as an example. thanks this was so clear and showed me that i shouldn’t be scared of this concept cuz i always thought it was so hard ‼️

[@ziaulhug9666]

I was really longing for this kind of explanation. Everyone were like into the numbers but you told us what the number is about I love it!!

[@TomRocksMaths]

Thanks Zia - glad you enjoyed it!!

[@exoticcoder5365]

You teach so well, it's my first time to understand clearly what it is comparing to other videos ! Thank you sir !

[@TomRocksMaths]

You're very welcome :)

[@ibehsuccess]

The best explanation for modular arithmetic, love your class

[@twentylulu4372]

Though this is a few years late, thanks a ton for this video! I was struggling with the idea of modular arithmetic, but the clock example really opened my eyes to how truly simple this is!

[@Nanis-World]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY COLLEGE LIFE!!!??? This was the easiest explanation out of like 7 videos I wasted time watching and you explained it so effortlessly and it ACTUALLY makes sense :) Thank you!

[@TomRocksMaths]

Glad I could help :)

[@vincentmessina9947]

Fantastic explanation, by far the best out there. Well appreciated Tom!

[@TomRocksMaths]

Glad it helped Vincent!

[@patrickmayer9218]

Incredible explanation! It's awesome that we all use modular arithmetic when doing time math and we don't even realize it! Thanks for the video!

[@lindenjohnson1709]

[@sanmore101]

Ha. Trying to understand this for months....your clock example is just what I need. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work

[@TomRocksMaths]

Awesome to hear, thanks Santosh.

[@Ron_DeForest]

I’m Canadian. I took all advanced math through high school, never learned mod math. Even took the pre university math courses. Have to wonder why. All these concepts that help you manipulate numbers are useful to know if you’re going to take math further.

[@VladTepesh409]

Best explanation of modular arithmetic.

[@duketrain8247]

Your content is really good for abstract algebra!

[@TomRocksMaths]

Awesome - thanks :)

[@akumaram]

What's the difference between this and the modulo used in computing? For example here, we say 34 = 10 mod 12. But in computing, it would be 34 mod 12 = 10. Why is the notation different?

[@casual_gaming_5]

This is the best explanation of modular on youtube. Great work. Thank you.

[@TomRocksMaths]

Thanks - glad I could help.

Hey what is the angle between two hands of a clock at 2:12 ?

[@grapy83]

Great explanation mate 👊

[@TomRocksMaths]

Glad it helped

[@topilinkala1594]

9:20 Little correction: You only do division properly mod p if p is a prime number. Non-prime modular arithmetics do not have all inverses under multiplication. You can see this easily if you think of any divisors of the mod. Let's say we use the 12. Because both 2 & 6 divide twelve 2*6 = 12 which is 0 mod 12 and thus neither 2 or 6 can have multiplicative inverses mod 12. Which implies that you can't divide all numbers by 2 in mod 12 arithmetic.

Thank you! Was taught this earlier today and everyone got it n whizzed through it except me. I became the laughing stock of the classroom for struggling with such basic maths. Thanks for this video. I see what was so hilarious now. I don't see any humanity in my peers though...

Glad it was helpful Mariel!

[@johnoommen8383]

good vid, greatly explained, would like to say that it might be confusing for some that you did not use paranthesis, since not using them is a different notation to what you are explaining. (denominator and remainder switch places)

[@zeenuexe8362]

thanks. I have a cryptography exam tomorrow and I forgot what this was.

Glad it helped - hope it went well!

Would modular arithmetic be better named as cyclical arithmetic?

It certainly works based on the concept, yes!

43 mod 10 = ? Answer is 3 but I didn't get to know how at first . Here RHS is not known . according to me there are four 10s and three is left out . 10+10+10+10+3=43 Ignoring four 10s , and considering 3, So answer is 3 . Am I correct ? Did the answer explanation match ?

Hi tom, i understood this but how does this relate to congruency?if a is equivalent b in modulo n, is this equivalent to saying a is congruent to b in modolu n

[@TomRocksMaths]

yes they're the same thing!

[@xPorkchops007x]

Shouldn't those be congruence symbols, not equalities?
