integer k such that a − b = k m. Congruence modulo m is a congruence relation, meaning that it is an equivalence relation that is compatible with the operations...

using a congruence relation. Quotient algebras are also called factor algebras. Here, the congruence relation must be an equivalence relation that is...

structure. In general, congruence relations play the role of kernels of homomorphisms, and the quotient of a structure by a congruence relation can be formed....
