I came from computer forum, and I came across many different expression of modulus equation, which of the following is authentic ?

5 ≣ 1 (mod 2)  5 = 1(mod 2)  5 = 1 mod 2  5 mod 2 = 1  5 mod 2 ≣ 1

    I'd say the first three are ok (only, in the first one the symbol is $\equiv$). I dislike the last two, because they obscure the equivalence relation.2012-09-15
