congruences

States of agreement

Congruences is the plural of congruence, which describes agreement or correspondence between things.

In geometry, congruence means figures have identical shape and size—triangles are congruent when their sides and angles match exactly.

In number theory, a congruence is a relationship between integers that have the same remainder when divided by a given number.

More generally, congruence suggests harmony or compatibility: the congruence between his words and actions.
