2there is no difference, it is essentially just a stylistic choice – Yaneda Sep 19 '23 at 23:11

1The first has parentheses and the second doesn't. Mathematically, I do not think anything different is intended. – lulu Sep 19 '23 at 23:13

1They mean the same thing. Personally I think the second option is a little easier to read and the parentheses don't really add anything. – Qiaochu Yuan Sep 19 '23 at 23:30

The difference is one char. One is \pmod the other is \mod. – Daniel Donnelly Sep 20 '23 at 06:38
