Modular arithmetic is the arithmetic of congruences, sometimes known informally as "clock arithmetic." In modular arithmetic, numbers "wrap around" upon reaching a given fixed quantity, which is known as the modulus (which would be 12 in the case of hours on a clock, or 60 in the case of minutes or seconds on a clock).
Formally, modular arithmetic is the arithmetic of any nontrivial homomorphic image of the ring of integers. For any such homomorphic image of
, there is an integer
such that
is isomorphic to the ring
of integers modulo
. The addition in the ring
is determined from addition in
by computing the remainder, upon division by
, of the sum
of two integers
and
. Similarly, for multiplication in the ring
, one multiplies two integers
and
, and computes the remainder upon division of
by
.
For each positive integer , the ring
has
elements, namely the equivalence classes of each of the nonnegative integers less than
, under the equivalence relation
that is defined according to the rule
iff
divides
. It is natural and common to denote the equivalence class
(under the equivalence relation
) of a nonnegative integer
by
.
For example, in arithmetic modulo 12 (for which the associated ring is ), the allowable numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. This arithmetic is sometimes referred to as "clock arithmetic" because the additive structure here is the same as that used to determine times for a twelve-hour clock, except that 0 is often replaced, on a clock, by 12. Example calculations in arithmetic modulo 12 include statements like "
", or "
", or "
," although the equal sign
is commonly replaced with the congruence sign
in such statements to indicate that modular arithmetic is being used. More explicitly still, a notation such as

is frequently used.
Arithmetic modulo 2 is sometimes referred to as "Boolean arithmetic", because the ring is the canonical example of a Boolean ring.
