What is 95 mod 6?
Often represented by the operator "mod", the modulo is a mathematical operation that gives the remainder of an integer division.
The result of 95 mod 6 is 5.
How to compute 95 mod 6?
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)
- 95 / 6 = 15.833333333333
- ⌊15.833333333333⌋ = 15 (We only keep the integer part)
- 6 × 15 = 90
- 95 - 90 = 5 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 95 − (6 × ⌊95 / 6⌋) = 5
Is 95 divisible by 6?
A number is said to be divisible by another number, if the remainder of the division is zero.
Given that the result of 95 mod 6 is 5, this indicates that dividing 95 by 6 leaves a remainder of 5. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 95 is not divisible by 6.
