Abstract: Abstract We begin by exploring the algebraic properties of the modular numbers, sometimes known as clock arithmetic, and the modular polynomials. The modular numbers and modular polynomials are based upon the Euclidean algorithm, which is simply the idea of dividing one integer into another or one polynomial into another polynomial, which we first learned in secondary school.
