Simplify the following:
3 mod 11
Also, does 11 divide 3?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 3 and b = 11
Calculate whole number part:
11 goes into 3 a total of 0 times
11 x 0 = 0
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 3 - 0
Final Answer
3 mod 11 ≡ 3
This means that 11 does not divide 3 → 11∤3
This means that 11 does not divide 3 → 11∤3
