Sure, let's solve this step-by-step:
1. Calculate 12 % 8:
- The modulus operation finds the remainder of the division of one number by another.
- When you divide 12 by 8, the quotient is 1, and the remainder is 4, because [tex]\(12 = 8 \times 1 + 4\)[/tex].
- Therefore, 12 % 8 equals 4.
2. Compare the result of 12 % 8 to 3 % 8:
- For 3 % 8, since 3 is less than 8, it cannot be divided by 8 even once, so the remainder is just 3.
- 3 % 8 equals 3.
Combining these results, we have:
- [tex]\(12 \% 8 = 4\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(3 \% 8 = 3\)[/tex]
So the results are 4 and 6, respectively.
