However named, this is a hashing scheme.
Okay - If converting a number from a system based on whatever to
a system based on a different number is hashing......
maybe my english needs amending
Long established number-theoretic results then predict clustering of
these hash values at the prime divisors of a composite m.
I do not argue that and I understand the value of prime numbers, but I
highly doubt that the simple occurrence of a divide operation does
automatically make the conversion a hashing algorithm.
It does, really truly.
Hashing is a means of transforming some value in whatever form
to another form, in order that it may be used as an index.
