https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forney%20algorithm
In coding theory, the Forney algorithm (or Forney's algorithm) calculates the error values at known error locations. It is used as one of the steps in decoding BCH codes and Reed–Solomon codes (a subclass of BCH codes). George David Forney Jr. developed the algorithm. Procedure Need to introduce terminology and the ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility%20%28ring%20theory%29
In mathematics, the notion of a divisor originally arose within the context of arithmetic of whole numbers. With the development of abstract rings, of which the integers are the archetype, the original notion of divisor found a natural extension. Divisibility is a useful concept for the analysis of the structure of c...
