# An Iterative Alternative to Classical Chinese Remainder Theorem
## Background
The classical CRT requires pairwise coprime moduli. I've developed
an iterative algorithm that generalizes this.
## Main Result
The algorithm solves any system of linear congruences by:
1. Combining congruences pair-wise iteratively
2. Using GCD and LCM properties
3. Requiring only that solutions exist (no coprimality condition)
## Claim
This approach is:
- More general (handles non-coprime cases)
- More intuitive (step-by-step logic)
- Yields optimal period (LCM vs product)
## Questions for the Community
1. Is this algorithm novel in the literature?
2. What is its computational complexity vs classical CRT?
3. Does it have known applications?
