What is 92 mod 5?

Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.

The result of 92 mod 5 is 2.

How to compute 92 mod 5?

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. 92 / 5 = 18.4
  2. ⌊18.4⌋ = 18 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 5 × 18 = 90
  4. 92 - 90 = 2 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 92 − (5 × ⌊92 / 5⌋) = 2

Is 92 divisible by 5?

A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.

Given that the result of 92 mod 5 is 2, this indicates that dividing 92 by 5 leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 92 is not divisible by 5.
