How to use PHP and GMP to implement the modular exponentiation inverse operation of large numbers

With the development of computer technology, there are more and more situations where large numbers need to be processed. In some cryptography and number theory problems, we need to perform modular inverse operations on large numbers. The modular inverse operation is to find a number such that its product with a given modulus divided by another given number gives a specific remainder.

In PHP, we can use GMP (GNU Multi-precision Arithmetic Library) to handle large number operations. GMP is a very powerful library that can efficiently handle operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modular operations of large integers.

Below we will demonstrate how to use PHP and GMP to implement the modular exponentiation inversion operation of large numbers. We will implement a function that accepts three parameters: base, exponent, and modulus, and returns the modular inverse of the base.

function modular_inverse($base, $exponent, $mod) {
    $result = gmp_powm($base, $exponent, $mod);  // 使用gmp_powm计算底数的模幂
    return $result;
}

In the above code, we call the gmp_powm function to calculate the modular power of the base. This function accepts three parameters: base, exponent and modulus, and returns the modular power result of the base. Here we return the calculation result directly.

Now we can use this function for testing. Suppose we want to calculate the modular power inverse of 5, that is, find a number $x$ such that $5x equiv 1 pmod{7}$.

$base = gmp_init(5);
$exponent = gmp_init(-1);  // -1表示逆元，即模幂逆
$mod = gmp_init(7);

$modular_inverse = modular_inverse($base, $exponent, $mod);
echo gmp_strval($modular_inverse);  // 输出结果为3

In this example, we use the gmp_init function to convert 5, -1 and 7 respectively. GMP objects. Then we call the modular_inverse function to calculate the modular power inverse, and convert the result to a string through the gmp_strval function and output it.

By running the above code, we will get the result 3, which means $5 cdot 3 equiv 1 pmod{7}$. This proves that our modular exponentiation inverse operation is correct.

Using PHP and GMP to implement the modular exponentiation operation of large numbers can help us deal with some complex cryptography, number theory and discrete mathematics problems. By using the GMP library, we can perform large number operations efficiently and without worrying about overflows and other errors.
