What is 91 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 91 mod 3 is 1.

How to compute 91 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:

Remainder = N ( M × N M )

(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and N M represents the integer part of the quotient)

  1. 91 / 3 = 30.333333333333
  2. ⌊30.333333333333⌋ = 30 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 3 × 30 = 90
  4. 91 - 90 = 1 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 91 − (3 × ⌊91 / 3⌋) = 1

Is 91 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 91 mod 3 is 1, this indicates that dividing 91 by 3 leaves a remainder of 1. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 91 is not divisible by 3.
