Here we will explain what 93 mod 187 means and show how to calculate it. 93 mod 187 is short for 93 modulo 187 and it can also be called 93 modulus 187.
Modulo is the operation of finding the Remainder when you divide two numbers. Therefore, when you ask "What is 93 mod 187?" you are asking "What is the Remainder when you divide 93 by 187?".
We will show you two methods of finding 93 mod 187 (93 modulo 187). To differentiate our methods, we will call them the "Modulo Method" and the "Modulus Method".
Before we continue, we remind you of what the different parts of a division problem are called so you can follow along: Dividend / Divisor = Quotient and in this case 93 is the Dividend, 187 is the Divisor, and the answer is called the Quotient.
Furthermore, the Quotient x.y has two parts: x to the left of the decimal point is the Whole part, and y to the right of the decimal point is the Fractional part.
Modulo Method
To find 93 mod 187 using the Modulo Method, we first divide the Dividend (93) by the Divisor (187).
Second, we multiply the Whole part of the Quotient in the previous step by the Divisor (187).
Then finally, we subtract the answer in the second step from the Dividend (93) to get the answer. Here is the math to illustrate how to get 93 mod 187 using our Modulo Method:
93 ÷ 187 ≈ 0.497326
0 × 187 = 0
93 - 0 = 93
Thus, the answer to "What is 93 mod 187?" is 93.
Modulus Method
To find 93 mod 187 using the Modulus Method, we first find the highest multiple of the Divisor (187) that is equal to or less than the Dividend (93).
Then, we subtract the highest Divisor multiple from the Dividend to get the answer to 93 modulus 187 (93 mod 187):
Multiples of 187 are 0, 187, 374, 561, etc. and the highest multiple of 187 equal to or less than 93 is 0. Therefore, to get the answer:
93 - 0 = 93
Thus, once again, the answer to "What is 93 mod 187?" is 93.
