What is 35 mod 8?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 35 mod 8 is 3.
How to compute 35 mod 8?
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)
- 35 / 8 = 4.375
- ⌊4.375⌋ = 4 (We only keep the integer part)
- 8 × 4 = 32
- 35 - 32 = 3 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 35 − (8 × ⌊35 / 8⌋) = 3
Is 35 divisible by 8?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 35 mod 8 is 3, this indicates that dividing 35 by 8 leaves a remainder of 3. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 35 is not divisible by 8.
