What is 41 mod 9?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 41 mod 9 is 5.
How to compute 41 mod 9?
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)
- 41 / 9 = 4.5555555555556
- ⌊4.5555555555556⌋ = 4 (We only keep the integer part)
- 9 × 4 = 36
- 41 - 36 = 5 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 41 − (9 × ⌊41 / 9⌋) = 5
Is 41 divisible by 9?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 41 mod 9 is 5, this indicates that dividing 41 by 9 leaves a remainder of 5. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 41 is not divisible by 9.
