What is 90 mod 3?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 90 mod 3 is 0.
How to compute 90 mod 3?
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)
- 90 / 3 = 30
- ⌊30⌋ = 30 (We only keep the integer part)
- 3 × 30 = 90
- 90 - 90 = 0 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 90 − (3 × ⌊90 / 3⌋) = 0
Is 90 divisible by 3?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 90 mod 3 is 0, this indicates that dividing 90 by 3 leaves no remainder. Therefore, yes, 90 is indeed divisible by 3.
