Casually speaking, the remainder after a division of integers In number theory we say than integer a (exactly) divides integer b (denoted a | b) if and only if there is an integer k such that ak = b In number theory we say that integer a is congruent to integer b modulo m, denoted a = b (mod m), if and only if m | (a - b) Here m is the divisor or modulus
Agreement, as between characters and a tree, or between the topologies (shapes) of two trees, e g derived from different data sets, such as molecular and morphological Some authors like to make separate phylogeny estimates from different data sets, and then test their congruence (cf total evidence)
