Formal Definition
Replace this text with the formal definition. The word you are defining should be bold-faced.
Informal Definition
The result of the operation modulo $n$ on an addition operation is the remainder when the result of the addition operation is divided by $n$.
Example(s)
If $n=5$, and we apply the modulo $n$ operation to $9+8$ we have:
(1)\begin{equation} 3 +_5 4 = 2 \end{equation}
Non-example(s)
If $n=4$, $7+_{4}2$ does not make sense because 7 is not in $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$.
