The Division Algorithm
{% hint style="info" %} The Division Algorithm is a fundamental concept in number theory that describes how to divide two integers and find their quotient and remainder. {% endhint %}
Given two integers a and b, with b not equal to 0, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where 0 <= r < |b|.
- The integer q is called the quotient and r is called the remainder.
