Simplify the following:
16 mod 11
Also, does 11 divide 16?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 16 and b = 11
Calculate whole number part:
11 goes into 16 a total of 1 times
11 x 1 = 11
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 16 - 11
Final Answer
16 mod 11 ≡ 5
This means that 11 does not divide 16 → 11∤16
This means that 11 does not divide 16 → 11∤16
