What is 29 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 29 mod 6 is 5.
How to compute 29 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)
- 29 / 6 = 4.8333333333333
- ⌊4.8333333333333⌋ = 4 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 4 = 24
- 29 - 24 = 5 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 29 − (6 × ⌊29 / 6⌋) = 5
Is 29 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 29 mod 6 is 5, this indicates that dividing 29 by 6 leaves a remainder of 5. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 29 is not divisible by 6.
