Simplify the following:
47 mod 5
Also, does 5 divide 47?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 47 and b = 5
Calculate whole number part:
5 goes into 47 a total of 9 times
5 x 9 = 45
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 47 - 45
Final Answer
47 mod 5 ≡ 2
This means that 5 does not divide 47 → 5∤47
This means that 5 does not divide 47 → 5∤47
