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 $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$.
