What is 60 mod 9?

Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.

The result of 60 mod 9 is 6.

How to compute 60 mod 9?

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:

Remainder = N − ( M × ⌊ N M ⌋ )

(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and ⌊ N M ⌋ represents the integer part of the quotient)

  1. 60 / 9 = 6.6666666666667
  2. ⌊6.6666666666667⌋ = 6 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 9 × 6 = 54
  4. 60 - 54 = 6 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 60 − (9 × ⌊60 / 9⌋) = 6

Is 60 divisible by 9?

A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.

Given that the result of 60 mod 9 is 6, this indicates that dividing 60 by 9 leaves a remainder of 6. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 60 is not divisible by 9.
