Line 4:
Montgomery reduction calculates T*(R^-1) mod m, without having to divide by m
R is usually chosen as b^n, where b = base (radix) in which the numbers in the calculation as represented in [b = 10 in our normal paper arithmetics, b = 2 for computer implementations] and n = number of bits in modulus m
the numbers m(n digits long), T (2n digits long), R, b, n aareare known entities, a number m' (represented m_dash in code) = -m^-1 mod b is precomputed
