What is 88 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 88 mod 8 is 0.
How to compute 88 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)
- 88 / 8 = 11
- ⌊11⌋ = 11 (We only keep the integer part)
- 8 × 11 = 88
- 88 - 88 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 88 − (8 × ⌊88 / 8⌋) = 0
Is 88 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 88 mod 8 is 0, this indicates that dividing 88 by 8 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 88 is indeed divisible by 8.
