TITLE: How is this property called for mod?
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: We have a name for the property of integers to be $0$ or $1$ $\mathrm{mod}\ 2$ - parity.
Is there any similar name for the remainder for any other base? Like a generalization of parity? Could I use parity in a broader sense, just to name the remainder $\mathrm{mod}\ n$?

REPLY [16 votes]: Actually there is a standard name: residue.

There are $5$ residues modulo $5$, namely $0,1,2,3,4$.
Every prime greater than $3$ falls into only $2$ residue-classes modulo $6$.
