What is 4 mod 2?

Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.

The result of 4 mod 2 is 0.

How to compute 4 mod 2?

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:

Remainder = N ( M × N M )

(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and N M represents the integer part of the quotient)

  1. 4 / 2 = 2
  2. ⌊2⌋ = 2 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 2 × 2 = 4
  4. 4 - 4 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 4 − (2 × ⌊4 / 2⌋) = 0

Is 4 divisible by 2?

A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.

Given that the result of 4 mod 2 is 0, this indicates that dividing 4 by 2 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 4 is indeed divisible by 2.
