Periodic Remainder Heuristic

Definition

Periodic Remainder Heuristic in plain English

Same move as Algebraic Functions & Sequences (Periodic Remainder Heuristic): find cycle length C, then read the remainder. Micro-example: cycle C=4, 50th term → 50div 4 leaves remainder 2, so take the 2nd term in the cycle.
