I think Newton analogues exist only when b is a power, not in general.
And the most important case is prime b.
I think it exists also for b can be factorised into prime powers...

Sure, any factorization can be used with CRT, but it's only powers which
allow newton-like hensel-lifts, as far as I'm aware.
And the most important case is when b is prime.

We don't need to insist on keeping operands positive.
Hmm. In general, one needs to replace the largest number, to make
progres. But I guess in the case of many high bits being equal, it might
not
