What is 50 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 50 mod 8 is 2.
How to compute 50 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)
- 50 / 8 = 6.25
- ⌊6.25⌋ = 6 (We only keep the integer part)
- 8 × 6 = 48
- 50 - 48 = 2 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 50 − (8 × ⌊50 / 8⌋) = 2
Is 50 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 50 mod 8 is 2, this indicates that dividing 50 by 8 leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 50 is not divisible by 8.
