[SOLVED] Modulus Question

[suttercain]

I understand that the modulus is the remainder of a division. EXP. 33 % 5 = 3.

 

My question is:

Does 5 % 33 = 0?

 

Since it has no remainder am I correct?

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

5 % 33 gives 5 as the quotient come out to be zero

Exactly. Remember that you stated the modulus operator returns the remainder of the division. Well [pre]5 / 33 == 0 r.5[/pre], so "5" is returned.

5 modulo 33 = 5

Alright guys, thanks. I apologize though. I am really.... really bad in math and I don't see how you got a remainder of 5. Can someone explain briefly, if possible?

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT:

 

Okay I think I may have it...

 

So

5 % 33 = 5

6 % 33 = 6

32 % 33 = 32

33 % 33 = 0

34 % 33 = 1

 

Am I correct?

So

5 % 33 = 5

6 % 33 = 6

32 % 33 = 32

33 % 33 = 0

34 % 33 = 1

 

Am I correct?

 

Yes, that's it.
