How to Calculate Modulus.

Rosemary Njeri

The modulo or mod is the remainder after dividing one number by another absolute value.

Therefore, if you have an expression like a ≡ b (mod n), this means that when you divide a and b by n, they have the same remainder.

Formula to calculate modulus.

You only need to take the number you have and divide it by a positive integer and the absolute value that you get is the modulo.

Example:

Verify that 3 ≡ 5(mod 2).

You only need to take 3 and divide it by 2 and also take 5 and divide it by 5.

= 3 ÷ 2

= 1 remainder 1

= 5 ÷ 2

= 2 remainder 1

Since the remainder is the same, it is correct to say that 3 is equivalent to 5 mod 2.
