MULTMOD Performs a multiplication in Z/pZ or in Z/pZ[X].
Example 1
Typing:
MULTMOD(11, 8)
gives:
–3
Example 2
Typing:
MULTMOD(11X + 5, 8X + 6)
gives:
POWMOD Calculates A to the power of N in Z/pZ[X], and A(X) to
the power of N in Z/pZ[X].
Example 1
If p = 13, typing:
POWMOD(11, 195)
gives:
5
In effect: 11 12 = 1 mod 13, so 11 195 = 11 16×12+3 = 5
mod 13.
Example 2
Typing:
POWMOD(2X + 1, 5)
gives:
since 32 = 6 (mod 13), 80 = 2 (mod 13), 40 = 1 (mod
13), 10 = –3 (mod 13).
