If f(x) is a polynomial with integral coefficients then the integer r is said to be a residue of f(x) modulo an integer m if the congruence

is soluble for x; otherwise r is termed a non-residue. When m is a prime p, Mord ell [4] has shown that the least nonnegative residue ℓ of f(x) (mod p) satisfies
