This is the basis of the grade-school "casting out nines" method of checking arithmetic. Set c=9 and you can calculate N%c fairly readily (digit sum - I'm assuming here that the arithmetic is being done in decimal); the sum of the remainders should equal the remainder of the sum, but there's the inherent assumption that if the remainders sum to something greater than nine, you digit-sum it to get the true remainder. (Technically the sum of the digits of a base-10 number is not the same as that number mod 9, but if you accept that 0 == 9, it works fine.) ChrisA
