What is 88 mod 4?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 88 mod 4 is 0.
How to compute 88 mod 4?
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)
- 88 / 4 = 22
- ⌊22⌋ = 22 (We only keep the integer part)
- 4 × 22 = 88
- 88 - 88 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 88 − (4 × ⌊88 / 4⌋) = 0
Is 88 divisible by 4?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 88 mod 4 is 0, this indicates that dividing 88 by 4 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 88 is indeed divisible by 4.
