What is 40 mod 24?

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

The result of 40 mod 24 is 16.

How to compute 40 mod 24?

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. 40 / 24 = 1.6666666666667
  2. ⌊1.6666666666667⌋ = 1 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 24 × 1 = 24
  4. 40 - 24 = 16 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 40 − (24 × ⌊40 / 24⌋) = 16

Is 40 divisible by 24?

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

Given that the result of 40 mod 24 is 16, this indicates that dividing 40 by 24 leaves a remainder of 16. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 40 is not divisible by 24.
