Calculation of 0xbe

m(x) = 0x11b = 100011011 = x^8 + x^4 + x^3 + x + 1
a(x) =   0xbe =  10111110 = x^7 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x

m(x) = (x) * a(x) + (x^6 + x^5 + x^2 + x + 1)

Calculation of 0xbe^-1 in the finite field GF(2⁸)

01100111 = 00000001 * 100011011 + 00000010 * 10111110
00010111 = 00000011 * 100011011 + 00000111 * 10111110
00000010 = 00001000 * 100011011 + 00010111 * 10111110
00000001 = 01011011 * 100011011 + 10000110 * 10111110
00000000 = 10111110 * 100011011 + 100011011 * 10111110

a^-1(x) = x^7 + x^2 + x = 10000110 = 0x86

The calculation of 0xbe^-1 is made with the Extended Euclidean algorithm. Instead of normal division and multiplication you need to use Polynomialdivision and Polynomialmultiplication.
