The residue number system

Published:03 March 1959Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we develop and investigate the properrties of a novel system, called the residue code or residue number system. The residue number system is of particular interest because the arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication may be executed in the same time as required for an addition operation. The main difficulty of the residue code relative to arithmetic operations is the determination of the relative magnitude of two numbers expressed in the residue code. The residue code is probably of little utility for general-purpose computation, but the code has many characteristics which recommend its use for special-purpose computations.
