Simplify the following:
230 mod 16
Also, does 16 divide 230?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 230 and b = 16
Calculate whole number part:
16 goes into 230 a total of 14 times
16 x 14 = 224
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 230 - 224
Final Answer
230 mod 16 ≡ 6
This means that 16 does not divide 230 → 16∤230
This means that 16 does not divide 230 → 16∤230
