Answer

↓Steps Explained:↓

Simplify the following:

255 mod 16

Also, does 16 divide 255?

Define modulus:

Remainder of a ÷ b

In this case, a = 255 and b = 16

Calculate whole number part:

16 goes into 255 a total of 15 times

16 x 15 = 240

Calculate remainder part:

Remainder = a - whole number

Remainder = 255 - 240

Final Answer

255 mod 16 ≡ 15
This means that 16 does not divide 255 → 16∤255
