Simplify the following:
126 mod 60
Also, does 60 divide 126?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 126 and b = 60
Calculate whole number part:
60 goes into 126 a total of 2 times
60 x 2 = 120
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 126 - 120
Final Answer
126 mod 60 ≡ 6
This means that 60 does not divide 126 → 60∤126
This means that 60 does not divide 126 → 60∤126
