Simplify the following:
5 mod 11
Also, does 11 divide 5?
Define modulus:
Remainder of a ÷ b
In this case, a = 5 and b = 11
Calculate whole number part:
11 goes into 5 a total of 0 times
11 x 0 = 0
Calculate remainder part:
Remainder = a - whole number
Remainder = 5 - 0
Final Answer
5 mod 11 ≡ 5
This means that 11 does not divide 5 → 11∤5
This means that 11 does not divide 5 → 11∤5
