Modular Arithmetic
A system of arithmetic where numbers wrap around after reaching a modulus (e.g. 17 mod 5 = 2).
Detail Teknis
Modular Arithmetic is applied in computing through numerical algorithms that balance precision, performance, and memory. JavaScript uses 64-bit IEEE 754 floating-point for all numbers, providing ~15-17 significant decimal digits. For exact arithmetic (financial, cryptographic), BigInt or fixed-point libraries are required. Browser-based calculators implement modular arithmetic using the same floating-point engine, making awareness of precision limitations important for correct results.
Contoh
``` Modular Arithmetic calculation: Input: value = 42 Apply modular arithmetic: result = f(42) Output: result ```
