What is 99 mod 8?

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

The result of 99 mod 8 is 3.

How to compute 99 mod 8?

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. 99 / 8 = 12.375
  2. ⌊12.375⌋ = 12 (We only keep the integer part)
  3. 8 × 12 = 96
  4. 99 - 96 = 3 (Subtracting gives us the remainder)

In short: 99 − (8 × ⌊99 / 8⌋) = 3

Is 99 divisible by 8?

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

Given that the result of 99 mod 8 is 3, this indicates that dividing 99 by 8 leaves a remainder of 3. Therefore, no, since the remainder isn't zero, 99 is not divisible by 8.
