A composition table consists of elements which are a result of operation on the set elements.

Here we have the operation, a x₆ b = remainder of ab divided by 6 where a, b S.

This is the composition table of x₄ on S = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

For example, take 3 x₆ 2 = remainder of (3 x 2) divided by 6
