On the [url=https://www.mersenne.org]https://www.mersenne.org : GIMPS[/url] site there is a menu item "More Information / Help". In the page "The Maths", residue and shift are explained in the paragraph "Double-Checking" but benefits from the reading of the previous paragraph "Lucas-Lehmer Primality Testing" for better understanding.
