Let \(R\) be a commutative ring and let \(T:(R\text{-modules})^{op}\times (R\text{-modules})\to (R\text{-modules})\) of bidegree \((k_1,k_2)\). For example, the bifunctor \[ S(R^n,R^m)= H_0(\sum_{k_1}\times \sum_{k_2};\Hom((R^m)^{\otimes k_1},(R^n)^{\otimes k_2}\otimes A)) \] has bidegree \((k_1,k_2)\). The author describes a method for computing the stable K-theory of \(R\) with coefficients in \(T\), or rather the topological Hochschild homology, \(THH_*(R,T)\) [the author and \textit{T. Pirashvili}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 96, No. 3, 245-258 (1994; Zbl 0812.19002)]. The method is to reduce to calculations where \(T\) is replaced by bifunctors like \(S\) and by bifunctors of lower bidegree. The method is illustrated in the case of \(R=\mathbb{F}_p\) and \(R=\mathbb{Z}\).
