What is 32 mod 6?

How to compute 32 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:

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

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

1. 32 / 6 = 5.3333333333333
2. ⌊5.3333333333333⌋ = 5 (We only keep the integer part)
3. 6 × 5 = 30
4. 32 - 30 = 2 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 32 − (6 × ⌊32 / 6⌋) = 2

Is 32 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 32 mod 6 is 2, this indicates that dividing 32 by 6 leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 32 is not divisible by 6.
