What is 69 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 69 mod 6 is 3.

How to compute 69 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:

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. 69 / 6 = 11.5
  2. ⌊11.5⌋ = 11 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 6 × 11 = 66
  4. 69 - 66 = 3 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 69 − (6 × ⌊69 / 6⌋) = 3

Is 69 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 69 mod 6 is 3, this indicates that dividing 69 by 6 leaves a remainder of 3. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 69 is not divisible by 6.
