Subtraction modulo is an operation that finds the difference between two numbers within a specified modulus, effectively wrapping around once the result exceeds the modulus. It is an important concept in modular arithmetic, similar to how time works on a clock, where after reaching a certain hour, it resets to zero. This operation helps maintain the cyclic nature of numbers in modular systems.
congrats on reading the definition of subtraction modulo. now let's actually learn it.
