Your terminology here is skewed. Recursive modulus is existing math
theory. Your usage seems to imply you question that fact and consider
the references "theoretical".  

My personal books are probably too old to be in print so a page number
won't really help you. Tom mentioned several ideas to which I added
any Discrete math book. A visit to the library or google will turn up
many available references. I believe Rosen has a pretty good Distrete
Math book.

As I mentioned, it was a homework assignment. The treatment in the
text was minimal because the concept has been overcome by more
effective and practical ideas.

Where have you looked?

I don't get it. Do you want Sebastian or others to read the books for
you? Are you asking that others do the work and report back to you?

Help was offered, you don't seem to like the answer.
