What is 97 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 97 mod 5 is 2.
How to compute 97 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:
(where N is the dividend, M is the divisor and represents the integer part of the quotient)
- 97 / 5 = 19.4
- ⌊19.4⌋ = 19 (We only keep the integer part)
- 5 × 19 = 95
- 97 - 95 = 2 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)
In short: 97 − (5 × ⌊97 / 5⌋) = 2
Is 97 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 97 mod 5 is 2, this indicates that dividing 97 by 5 leaves a remainder of 2. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 97 is not divisible by 5.
