l 87mod9
Enter a mod b statement(s)

Simplify the following:

87 mod 9

Also, does 9 divide 87?

Define modulus:

Remainder of a ÷ b

In this case, a = 87 and b = 9

Calculate whole number part:

9 goes into 87 a total of 9 times

9 x 9 = 81

Calculate remainder part:

Remainder = a - whole number

Remainder = 87 - 81

Final Answer


87 mod 9 ≡ 6
This means that 9 does not divide 87 → 9∤87
