New blog dedicated to listing out remainder tests of numbers

Numbers are intriguing, fun to play with. They often have pattern between each of them but it takes time for us to find out the exact pattern. Prime numbers are numbers that are very popular as they still remain mysterious as of today. How do we look at first glance that it is a prime number? Hmm. I don't know either. Hehe.

This blog is more of a self research of the remainder tests of several numbers. The aim is to know the remainders when a very large number is divided by another number or called a divisor and the methods to do it. With these methods, the remainders can be calculated even without a calculator with about 10 - 20 digits of numbers. Unfortunately, I don't know how to prove algberically why it works for all numbers. I hope this blog can influence more people to discover more about the world of numbers not only in the decimal systems but also in other conventions like binary systems.

A blog about remainder tests.
