Formal Statement
Let N be a positive integer, R and T be integers such that, and, and let be the multiplicative inverse modulo N of R. The Montgomery reduction of T modulo N with respect to R is defined as the value
A systematic interpretation of Montgomery reduction and the definition of Montgomery multiplication operation is based on the 2nd generalized division algorithm; see Euclidean division#Generalized_division_algorithms.
The algorithm used to calculate this reduction is much more efficient than the classical method of taking a product over the integers and reducing the result modulo N.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or statement:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
