The Residue Number System

I was wondering what the residue number representation of -1 was? (Or for negative numbers in general)

Thanks,
flouran

Re: The Residue Number System

If the modulus is M, then we can take M-1.

Re: The Residue Number System

The residue representation of -1 in LaTeX Code: Z_{42} is (-1,-1,-1).
