What is 8 mod 8?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 8 mod 8 is 0.
How to compute 8 mod 8?
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)
- 8 / 8 = 1
- ⌊1⌋ = 1 (We only keep the integer part)
- 8 × 1 = 8
- 8 - 8 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 8 − (8 × ⌊8 / 8⌋) = 0
Is 8 divisible by 8?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 8 mod 8 is 0, this indicates that dividing 8 by 8 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 8 is indeed divisible by 8.
