This tool calculates the result of raising a number to a power and then finding the remainder when divided by another number.
Power Mod Calculator
Enter the values for base (a), exponent (b), and modulus (n) in the fields provided. Click the “Calculate” button to get the result of (a^b) % n.
How It Works
The power mod calculator computes (a^b) % n using an efficient method called “modular exponentiation.” This method reduces the power calculation by breaking it into smaller multiplications and utilizing the modulus operation to prevent overflow and reduce large numbers.
How to Use
- Enter the base value (a) in the “Base” field.
- Enter the exponent value (b) in the “Exponent” field.
- Enter the modulus value (n) in the “Modulus” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to compute the result.
- The result will be displayed in the “Result” field.
Limitations
This calculator assumes the inputs are non-negative integers. It also does not handle very large numbers efficiently for extremely high values of the exponent due to the limitations of JavaScript’s number handling. In such cases, consider using specialized libraries or programming languages designed for handling big integers.
