Does anyone know how to calculate a Mod b in Casio fx-991ES Calculator. Thanks
Simply just divide the numbers, it gives yuh the decimal format and even the numerical format. using S<->D
For example: 11/3 gives you 3.666667 and 3 2/3 (Swap using S<->D). Here the '2' from 2/3 is your mod value.
Similarly 18/6 gives you 14.833333 and 14 5/6 (Swap using S<->D). Here the '5' from 5/6 is your mod value.
It all falls back to the definition of modulus: It is the remainder, for example, 7 mod 3 = 1. This because 7 = 3(2) + 1, in which 1 is the remainder.
To do this process on a simple calculator do the following: Take the dividend (7) and divide by the divisor (3), note the answer and discard all the decimals -> example 7/3 = 2.3333333, only worry about the 2. Now multiply this number by the divisor (3) and subtract the resulting number from the original dividend.
so 2*3 = 6, and 7 - 6 = 1, thus 1 is 7mod3
As far as I know, that calculator does not offer mod functions. You can however computer it by hand in a fairly straightforward manner. Ex.
(1)50 mod 3
(2)50/3 = 16.66666667
(3)16.66666667 - 16 = 0.66666667
(4)0.66666667 * 3 = 2
Therefore 50 mod 3 = 2
Things to Note: On line 3, we got the "minus 16" by looking at the result from line (2) and ignoring everything after the decimal. The 3 in line (4) is the same 3 from line (1).
Hope that Helped.
Edit As a result of some trials you may get x.99991 which you will then round up to the number x+1.
You can calculate A mod B (for positive numbers) using this:
Pol( -Rec( 1/2πr , 2πr × A/B ) , Y ) ( πr - Y ) B
Then press [CALC], and enter your values for A and B, and any value for Y.
/ indicates using the fraction key, and r means radians ( [SHIFT] [Ans] [2] )
Calculate x/y
(your actual numbers here), and press a b/c key, which is 3rd one below Shift key.
