What is 11 mod 6?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 11 mod 6 is 5.
How to compute 11 mod 6?
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:
(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and represents the integer part of the quotient)
- 11 / 6 = 1.8333333333333
- ⌊1.8333333333333⌋ = 1 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 1 = 6
- 11 - 6 = 5 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 11 − (6 × ⌊11 / 6⌋) = 5
Is 11 divisible by 6?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 11 mod 6 is 5, this indicates that dividing 11 by 6 leaves a remainder of 5. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 11 is not divisible by 6.
