The fractional part of a number a can be obtained by moda 1
The fractional part of a number a can be obtained by “mod(a, 1)”. Enter
>> mod(1e14 + .5, 1)
>> mod(1e15 + .5, 1)
>> mod(1e16 + .5, 1)
Explain why the last output is different from the other two.
Solution
using MATLAB code
>>mod(1e14 + .5, 1)
Ans=0.5000
>>mod(1e15 + .5, 1)
Ans= 0.5000
>>mod(1e16+.5,1)
Ans= 0
Similarly
>>mod(1e17+ .5, 1)
Ans = 0
If we have a congruent to b (mod c) then this mean that
When a or b divided by c the remainder will be the same.
After value of Mod( 1e16+.5,1) will be zero.
