BigInteger remainder results in zero
Code:
BigInteger nbr = BigInteger.valueOf(4); BigInteger i = BigInteger.valueOf(2); nbr.remainder(i) == BigInteger.ZERO
this returns false, it should return true, the remainder is zero...
why is it returning false?
although if u check each one alone, they are ZEROS and they are equal!!!
why is it returning false?

Better to use the equals method when comparing objects.
Code:
System.out.printf("four %% two equals BigInteger.ZERO = %b%n", four.remainder(two).equals(BigInteger.ZERO));
