Simplify the following:
27 mod 11
Also, does 11 divide 27?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 27 and b = 11
Calculate whole number part:
11 goes into 27 a total of 2 times
11 x 2 = 22
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 27 - 22
Final Answer
27 mod 11 ≡ 5
This means that 11 does not divide 27 → 11∤27
This means that 11 does not divide 27 → 11∤27
