Is there a standard way to typeset the modulus operator (as in arithmetic remainder)? The percent sign (%
) is often used by programming languages and mathematicians tend to use mod
, but because of the romanization of mod
, this notation can be confusing when used inline with text as in
So long as T mod n = 0 (i.e., the quantity is an integral multiple of n)...
I am currently using $T\mod{}n=0$
, which places more space between the first argument and mod
than between mod
and the second argument.

\bmod
is designed for mod used as a binary op.
