Question 11471 – APPSC-2012-DL CA

CRC error detection method involves polynomials.
The divisor in the CRC generator is most often represented not as a string of 1s and 0s, but as an algebraic polynomial. The polynomial format is used for it is short and it can be used to prove the concept mathematically. A string of 0s and 1s can be represented as a polynomial with coefficients of 0 and 1, where the power of each term in the polynomial indicates the position of the bit and the corresponding coefficient reflects the value of the bit (0 or 1).
