Checking if one value is divisable by another (1 Viewer)

[Silverwolf]

Everything else for my major is finished, except for this last little bit of one of my modules that I simply can't figure out :S. I need the module to check wether or not Num01 is divisable by Num02.

I spent the last 2 school weeks fiddling around with various methods and nothing seemed to work (don't bother asking what I tried, can't remember after 2 weeks of holidays). The module will do everything it's supposed to do after that (manually chucked in some data), but I can't get it to make this check.

plz help!!

The Mod operator returns the remainder when two numbers are divided. So if Num01 is divisible by Num02. Num01 Mod Num02 = 0

eg.

' in some procedure
  MsgBox 4 Mod 3    ' gives 1
  MsgBox 4 Mod 2    ' gives 0

Do you integrate that into a condition..

if(num1%num2 = 0)
{
statement
}

Yes that would work.

Here is a recursive function written in python/pseudocode that will return the greast common divisor, helpful sometimes.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]def[/COLOR] [COLOR=RoyalBlue]gcd[/COLOR](m,n):
    [COLOR=DarkOrange]if[/COLOR] m % n == 0: [COLOR=DarkOrange]return[/COLOR] n
    [COLOR=DarkOrange]return[/COLOR] GCD(n,m%n)

[B]BEGIN SUBPROGRAM[/B] [U]GCD(m,n)[/U]
    [B]IF[/B] remainder of m/n = 0 [B]THEN[/B]
        return n
    [B]ELSE[/B]
        return [U]GCD(n,remainder of m/n)[/U]
    [B]END IF[/B]
[B]END SUBPROGRAM [/B]

Edit: damn, i didnt realise this thread was so old. this place is dead.
