What is 34 mod 4?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 34 mod 4 is 2.
How to compute 34 mod 4?
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)
- 34 / 4 = 8.5
- ⌊8.5⌋ = 8 (We only keep the integer part)
- 4 × 8 = 32
- 34 - 32 = 2 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 34 − (4 × ⌊34 / 4⌋) = 2
Is 34 divisible by 4?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 34 mod 4 is 2, this indicates that dividing 34 by 4 leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 34 is not divisible by 4.
