What is 10 mod 51?

How to compute 10 mod 51?

The simplest approach is to use the "mod" operator (often denoted as "%" in many programming languages), but you could do it manually in the following way:

$\mathrm{Remainder}=N-(M\times \lfloor \frac{N}{M}\rfloor )$

(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and $\lfloor \frac{N}{M}\rfloor$ represents the integer part of the quotient)

1. 10 / 51 = 0.19607843137255
2. ⌊0.19607843137255⌋ = 0 (We only keep the integer part)
3. 51 × 0 = 0
4. 10 - 0 = 10 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 10 − (51 × ⌊10 / 51⌋) = 10

Is 10 divisible by 51?

A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.

Given that the result of 10 mod 51 is 10, this indicates that dividing 10 by 51 leaves a remainder of 10. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 10 is not divisible by 51.
