modulo $m$

Any set of $m$ integers that are incongruent $\bmod\,m$. Usually, as a complete residue system $\bmod\,m$ one takes the least non-negative residues $0,\ldots,m-1$, or the absolutely least residues consisting of the number $0,\pm1,\ldots,\pm(m-1)/2$ if $m$ is odd or the numbers $0,\pm1,\ldots,\pm(m-2)/2,m/2$ if $m$ is even.
