等价关系定义为:设R是非空集合A上的二元关系,若R是自反的、对称的、传递的,则称R是A上的等价关系。研究等价关系的目的在于将集合中的元素进行分类,选取每类的代表元素来降低问题的复杂度,如软件测试时,可利用等价类来选择测试用例。
The prototypical example of a congruence relation is congruence modulo on the set of integers. For a given positive integer , two integers and are called congruent modulo , written
if is divisible by (or equivalently if and have the same remainder when divided by ).
for example, and are congruent modulo ,
since is a multiple of 10, or equivalently since both and have a remainder of when divided by .
Congruence modulo (for a fixed ) is compatible with both addition and multiplication on the integers. That is,
if
- and
then
- and
The corresponding addition and multiplication of equivalence classes is known as modular arithmetic. From the point of view of abstract algebra, congruence modulo is a congruence relation on the ringof integers, and arithmetic modulo occurs on the corresponding quotient ring.
