Question

Is 12=5 mod 8 is a true?

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given that

$12(\mod 8)=5(\mod 8)$

We are required to answer whether the above statement is TRUE.

$\begin{gathered} 12(\mod 8)=1\text{ remainder 4=4(mod 8)} \\ \text{ Since,} \\ 12(\text{mod}8)=4\ne5 \\ \text{ It follows that it is not true.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, it is not true.
