What is 88 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 88 mod 6 is 4.
How to compute 88 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)
- 88 / 6 = 14.666666666667
- ⌊14.666666666667⌋ = 14 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 14 = 84
- 88 - 84 = 4 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 88 − (6 × ⌊88 / 6⌋) = 4
Is 88 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 88 mod 6 is 4, this indicates that dividing 88 by 6 leaves a remainder of 4. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 88 is not divisible by 6.
