if a = -11 and b = 3 then what is a div b and a mod b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mod?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes mod

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

modulus

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

mod is 2

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

idk what div is.

Parth (parthkohli):

By div, do you mean quotient?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

...why are you asking me?

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm... mod is 1.

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

becoz i m not getting ur question :(

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\large \rm 3 \cdot (-4) + \underbrace{1}_{\large modulus} = -11\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and what does -11/3, -11|3| mean @jiteshmeghwal9 ?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

and why is @bahrom7893 wrong @ParthKohli ?

Parth (parthkohli):

Depends on your question...\[\large \rm a ~div~b=a\div b?\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes

Parth (parthkohli):

@lgbasallote How is the modulus 2? Can you show so?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

again...why are you asking me?

Parth (parthkohli):

Then,\[\rm \large -11~div~3 ={-11 \over 3} = -3{2 \over 3}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

mmhmm

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Parth... i thought modulus was a remainder when a is divided by b. That's what it means in programming.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it is...

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes, that's what...

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

\[\Huge{\frac{-11}{2}=a \div b}\] accrding to ur question . but i'm not getting what do u mean by \(\Large{a\space mod\space b}\). @lgbasallote

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

oh it's -11.. shoot i got my mod wrong

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

so then...?

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

A mod B is A%B, or the remainder when A is divided by B

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

-11/3*

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

mod is modulo @jiteshmeghwal9

Parth (parthkohli):

@jiteshmeghwal9 a mod b is the remainder when a is divided by b. Yep.

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

ohh ok !
