(14 – 27) mod 5
You asked:
Evaluate \(14 - 27\) modulo \(5\)
MathBot Answer:
\[14 - 27 \bmod 5 = 2\]
Given two numbers \(a\) and \(n\), \(a\) modulo \(n\) (often written \(a \bmod n\)) is the remainder when \(a\) is divided by \(n\).
\(\dfrac{14 - 27}{5} = \dfrac{-13}{5} = -3\) with remainder \(2\)
Therefore \(14 - 27 \bmod 5 = 2\)
