How to calculate a Mod b in Casio fx-991ES calculator

Question

Does anyone know how to calculate a Mod b in Casio fx-991ES Calculator. Thanks

Answer 1

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.
