Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a modular system, if 12 is congruent to 0 modulo n, which of the following must be true?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'congruent to 0 modulo n' means. It means that when you divide 12 by n, there is no remainder.
  • Step 2: This can be written mathematically as 12 % n = 0, where % is the modulo operation.
  • Step 3: If 12 % n = 0, it means that n divides 12 evenly.
  • Step 4: Therefore, n must be a divisor of 12, meaning n can be any number that can multiply with another whole number to give 12.
