The residue classes modulo 4 do not form a field and having the divisors of zero that will help us in showing the lattice suitably constructed is not distributive. The residue classes as considered as the entries of n * n matrix and the respective determinant is considered. M0 = [0 0 0 0], M1 = [ 0 0 0 1 ] ,..... , M255 = [3 3 3 3 ] ..........2.1 Considering the determinants of these matrices, it can be followed as the determinants vary from – 9 through 9. The set of matrices are partitioned into equivalence classes depending on the determinant and the partition is not regular. So, it is suitable to fit the structure into lattice and the 19 equivalence classes are having unequal number of members that are the n * n matrices. The equivalence classes and the respective number of members in each class are specified in the following chapter. The set of the equivalence classes form a lattice and is not distributive.
