The Formula Explained
\( c = b^e \mod m \)
Glossary of Terms
- Base (b): The number to be exponentiated.
- Exponent (e): The power to which the base is raised.
- Modulus (m): The divisor used to compute the remainder.
- Result (c): The result of the modular exponentiation.
Example: Step-by-Step
For example, to calculate \( 2^5 \mod 13 \), first compute \( 2^5 = 32 \). Then, find the remainder of \( 32 \div 13 \), which is 6. Thus, \( 2^5 \mod 13 = 6 \).
