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

    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)

    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!

    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 ‼️

    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.

    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)

    @akumaram ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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?

  • @topilinkala1594
    @topilinkala1594 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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 ?
