When I try it, the sum generated for the name "Mario" from the table he did, which is computed for the first four letters as 0+11+10+2=23, and this sum divided by 4 gives me 5.75. However, what is the remainder for the sum 5.75? This doesn't give me a consistent result that fits into the four growth tables given as 0-3. Please help me.
It's 3. 23/4 = 5.75. Simplest way is to open windows calculator, go to view - programming, and do 23 MOD 4, it'll spit out the remainder of 3. Otherwise you have some more steps; you take the 5.75 and drop the dec, you get 5. Times that by what you divided by, you get 20. Take the initial number, 23, and subtract the 20, you get your remainder. It's simpler if you did the division by hand vs a calculator. So for the second one, remainder is 11
