(** modulo Modulo Arithmetic.  @author Olga Caprotti and Martijn Oostdijk @version $Revision$ *)
(** (Mod a b n) means (a = b (mod n)) *)
Definition Mod (a b : Z) (n : nat) :=
exists q : Z, a = (b + Z_of_nat n * q)%Z.
(** ZMod, same as Mod but only uses Z. *)
Definition ZMod (a b n : Z) := exists q : Z, a = (b + n * q)%Z.

Lemma zmod_exp_compat :
forall a b n : Z, ZMod a b n -> forall m : Z, ZMod (ZExp a m) (ZExp b m) n.
