What is 6 mod 99?
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 99 is 6.
How to compute 6 mod 99?
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 / 99 = 0.060606060606061
- ⌊0.060606060606061⌋ = 0 (We only keep the integer part)
- 99 × 0 = 0
- 6 - 0 = 6 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 6 − (99 × ⌊6 / 99⌋) = 6
Is 6 divisible by 99?
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 99 is 6, this indicates that dividing 6 by 99 leaves a remainder of 6. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 6 is not divisible by 99.
