Because
3 / 11 == 0
3 % 11 == 3
0 * 11 + 3 == 3
Pregunta
Why is 3 modulo 11 equal to 3? The expression in coding syntax is usually
3 % 11
This is the remainder of dividing 3 by 11, correct? Then the result should be 11 since that would be the remainder. What am I understanding wrong?
Solución
Because
3 / 11 == 0
3 % 11 == 3
0 * 11 + 3 == 3
