The regular integers are visualized as lying on a number line, where integers to the left are smaller than integers on the right. This representation is allowed by the chinese remainder theorem, which asserts that, if n is the product of the moduli, there is, in an interval of length n, exactly one integer having any given set of modular values.
Each digit of the residue number system is obtained with respect to a different base or modulus. Residues are added by taking the usual arithmetic sum, then subtracting the modulus from the sum as many times as is necessary to reduce the sum to a number m between 0 and n.
