What is 9 mod 10?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 9 mod 10 is 9.
How to compute 9 mod 10?
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)
- 9 / 10 = 0.9
- ⌊0.9⌋ = 0 (We only keep the integer part)
- 10 × 0 = 0
- 9 - 0 = 9 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 9 − (10 × ⌊9 / 10⌋) = 9
Is 9 divisible by 10?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 9 mod 10 is 9, this indicates that dividing 9 by 10 leaves a remainder of 9. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 9 is not divisible by 10.
