Method, system and computer readable medium for duplicate record detection

摘要

A method of determining if a given record is a duplicate of one of a list of records is disclosed. A single piece of information, such as a product of prime numbers unique to each record in the list is obtained. Similarly, a unique piece of information, such as a unique prime number, is obtained for the given record. The product is divided by the unique prime number of the given record. A remainder in the division operation indicates that the given record is not a duplicate.
