What is 50 mod 7?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 50 mod 7 is 1.
How to compute 50 mod 7?
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)
- 50 / 7 = 7.1428571428571
- ⌊7.1428571428571⌋ = 7 (We only keep the integer part)
- 7 × 7 = 49
- 50 - 49 = 1 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 50 − (7 × ⌊50 / 7⌋) = 1
Is 50 divisible by 7?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 50 mod 7 is 1, this indicates that dividing 50 by 7 leaves a remainder of 1. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 50 is not divisible by 7.
