SUMMARY
The most efficient algorithm for calculating f(x) mod g(x) when the degrees of f(x) and g(x) are significantly large, specifically when the degree of f(x) is much greater than that of g(x), is the use of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method. This approach leverages the properties of polynomial multiplication and division to optimize the computation. Implementations in libraries such as NumPy (version 1.21 or higher) can facilitate this process, providing significant performance improvements over traditional long division methods.
