Hmmm, I'm sorry to blow the trust but I don't have a formula. :oops: I'll work some more to see if I can get anything. But I agree it doesn't seem that the formula d1r2+r1 is correct.

Let's do some examples

10 mod 3 is 1
10 mod 2 is 0
10 mod 6 is 4
but 3*0+1 is not 4.

Let's see another

16 mod 5 is 1
16 mod 3 is 1
16 mod 15 is 1
5*1+1 is definitely not 1.

Not working. Or have I not understood it correctly?

I'm not able to proof or derive that formula or even get it to work! :shock:
