Modular Division :
An efficient algorithm for dividing b by a modulo n.
GCD ( Greatest Common Divisor ) or HCF ( Highest Common Factor )
Given three integers a, b, and n, such that gcd(a,n)=1 and n>1, the algorithm should
return an integer x such that 0≤x≤n1, and b/a=x(modn) (that is, b=ax(modn)).
Theorem:
a has a multiplicative inverse modulo n iff gcd(a,n) = 1
This find x = b*a^(-1) mod n
Uses ExtendedEuclid to find the inverse of a
