Programming
It is used to find remainder, check whether a number is even or odd etc. Example:
7 % 5 = 2 Dividing 7 by 5 we get remainder 2. 4 % 2 = 0 4 is even as remainder is 0.
Let the two given numbers be x and n. Find modulus (remainder) x % n Example Let x = 27 and n = 5
Step 1 Find quotient (integer part only) q = x / n Example q = 27 / 5 = 5 (taking only the integer part) Step 2 Find product p = q * n Example p = 5 * 5 = 25 Step 3 Find modulus (remainder) m = x - p Example m = 27 - 25 = 2
#include <stdio.h> int main(){ //variables int x, n, p, q, m; //input printf("Enter x and n: "); scanf("%d%d", &x, &n); //mod q = x / n; //finding quotient (integer part only) p = q * n; //finding product m = x - p; //finding modulus //output printf("Modulus: %d\n", m); return 0; }
