What is 67 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 67 mod 6 is 1.
How to compute 67 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)
- 67 / 6 = 11.166666666667
- ⌊11.166666666667⌋ = 11 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 11 = 66
- 67 - 66 = 1 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 67 − (6 × ⌊67 / 6⌋) = 1
Is 67 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 67 mod 6 is 1, this indicates that dividing 67 by 6 leaves a remainder of 1. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 67 is not divisible by 6.
