Easy Way to Calculate Remainder of Long Division

       Most of the calculators unable to calulate Remainder of long division.
Today I am going to show you a easy way to Calculate Remainder of Long Division using square-and-multiply algorithm.

Consider example as (25)17 % 77

As we know,
            2517 = 2516 x 251
So we perform steps as follows:
            251 % 77 = 25
            252 % 77 = 9
            254 % 77 = 92 % 77 = 4
            258 % 77 = 42 % 77 = 16
            2516 % 77 = 162 % 77 =25

Since, 17 = 16 + 1 we stopped after 2516 % 77

 Final computation,
            (25)17 % 77 = { [ (25)16 % 77 ] x [ (25)1 % 77 ] } % 77
                                = { 25x25 } % 77
                                = 9


 Happy Coding With Mathematics!

Torvalds Announces Linux 3.16-rc4

Linux founder, Linus Torvalds has officially announced the fourth Release Candidate (RC) version of the upcoming Linux kernel 3.16. The RC4 is a successor to Linux 3.16-rc3. It is now available for download and testing. However, since it is a development version, it should not be installed on production machines.      The latest release candidate mainly concentrates on drivers (gpu, usb, scsi, sound), filesystems (btrfs, ext4) and arch updates (mostly arm). "Things have calmed down nicely, and everything seems pretty normal. Maybe some of the calm has been due to people starting to take off for summer and (in the US) the 4th of July week, but whatever the reason, both the diffstat and the logs look nice and fairly small." Torvalds said in the release note. The latest release candidate mainly concentrates on drivers (gpu, usb, scsi, sound), filesystems (btrfs, ext4) and arch updates (mostly arm).
