8 ∙ 8 (mod 6) = ____

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 8 (mod 6) (think remainder) then take 8 times that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so so lost.... Is mod 6 remainder of 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

8 (mod 6) = remainder after you divide 8/6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

8/6 = 1 remainder ____ what goes in the blank?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes for example 10 (mod 2) = 0, 10 (mod 5) = 0 but 10 (mod 3) = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thank you all for helping me, I really just don't get it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

take 8 cookies and divide it up amongst 6 people how many cookies does each person get? how many cookies are left over after they are equally divided up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically do you remember when you did long division and you had a remainder? well that remainder is what the mod function returns

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh and you can only give out whole cookies (you can't break up any cookies)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 2?
