Simplify the following:
100 mod 16
Also, does 16 divide 100?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 100 and b = 16
Calculate whole number part:
16 goes into 100 a total of 6 times
16 x 6 = 96
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 100 - 96
Final Answer
100 mod 16 ≡ 4
This means that 16 does not divide 100 → 16∤100
This means that 16 does not divide 100 → 16∤100
