What is 53 mod 1?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 53 mod 1 is 0.
How to compute 53 mod 1?
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)
- 53 / 1 = 53
- ⌊53⌋ = 53 (We only keep the integer part)
- 1 × 53 = 53
- 53 - 53 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 53 − (1 × ⌊53 / 1⌋) = 0
Is 53 divisible by 1?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 53 mod 1 is 0, this indicates that dividing 53 by 1 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 53 is indeed divisible by 1.
