Abstract

Let N > 1 N > 1 . We present a method for multiplying two integers (called N-residues ) modulo N while avoiding division by N . N -residues are represented in a nonstandard way, so this method is useful only if several computations are done modulo one N . The addition and subtraction algorithms are unchanged.
