Modular Arithmetic is a system of arithmetic for integers, where numbers wrap around after reaching a certain value, known as the modulus. For example, in modulus 5 arithmetic, the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used, and after 4, the next number is 0. So, 6 becomes 1, because 6 divided by 5 leaves a remainder of 1. This concept is useful in various fields, including computer science and cryptography. It helps in simplifying calculations and solving problems involving cycles, such as determining days of the week or managing time in clocks.
