What is 6 mod 6?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 6 mod 6 is 0.
How to compute 6 mod 6?
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)
- 6 / 6 = 1
- ⌊1⌋ = 1 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 1 = 6
- 6 - 6 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 6 − (6 × ⌊6 / 6⌋) = 0
Is 6 divisible by 6?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 6 mod 6 is 0, this indicates that dividing 6 by 6 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 6 is indeed divisible by 6.
