Generate Random Numbers Using LCG Method

A random number generator (RNG) is a mathematical construct, either computational or as a hardware device, that is designed to generate a random set of numbers that should not display any distinguishable patterns in their appearance or generation, hence the word random.

• High periodicity
• High independence
• High uniformity

Hull - Dobell Theorem is used make LCG Generator that has full period .

LCG has full period iff ,

• The highest common multiple of m and c is 1.
• If m is a multiple of a prime number p then a-1 must also be a multiple of p.
• Whenever m is a multiple of 4, a-1 must be a multiple of 4.
