👉 In mathematics, a field is an algebraic structure where every non-zero element has a multiplicative inverse. This means that for any two elements x and y in a field F, there exists another element z such that z
x = y.
A field with 2 elements is called a binary field or the trivial field, while a field with 3 elements is called a ternary field or the quaternary field. A field with more than three elements requires additional properties such as closure and
