Could someone please help with the answer

Volunteers have been divided into 5 groups with equal number of members. If any group has fewer than 5 people, more volunteers must be recruited to fill the empty spots.
Write a program that takes the number of volunteers and outputs to the console how many volunteers need to be hired to have 5 equal groups.

Sample Input
24
Sample Output
1

Explanation
The nearest number to 24 that is multiple of 5 is 25, so we need 1 more volunteer (24+1=25) to get 5 equal groups.

Just get reminder (rem = number % 5) and check if reminder is greater than 0 then subtract reminder from 5 and print difference.

But if reminder is 0 then just print 0

Answer 2

hi! do you have a code for trying to solve this problem?

Answer 3

Can anyone see where my mistake is? Thanks

function main() {
var numberVolunteers = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
var peopleNeeded = numberVolunteers%5
if peopleNeeded > 0 {
console.log(peopleNeeded)
}
else {
console.log("no one else needed.")
}
}

Answer 4

this is the solution to the code above

var input = window.prompt("enter the number of volunteers");
outputA = 25 - input;
outputB = 5 - (input % 5);
console.log(! input < 25 ? outputB : outputA);

Answer 5

var p = parseInt(prompt());
function o(z) {
var a = z%5;
var b = 5-a;
console.log(b)
return b;
}
o(p);

Answer 6

var volunteers = prompt("Number of volunteer"); // To take the vol number ;

var notEqual = volunteers%5; // To know how many person not in group ;

var makeEqual = 5 - notEqual; // To know how many person to make all group equal ;

var eachGroup = volunteers/5; // To know how many person in each group
(volunteers % 5 === 0 ) ?
console.log("All group equal and have " + eachGroup + " person") : console.log("You have " + notEqual + " not in group so still need " + makeEqual + " persons to make all groups equal" );

Boolean: not needed.

If statement: strictly speaking not needed - you can use a ternary instead for example.

Logical operators: not needed, buy you'll need this % which is an arithmetic operator called the remainder operator.

🅘🅜 🅰🅹 !!! has laid out the steps nicely

I think Sololearn have badly worded the question. It makes it sound like there are 5 groups ("Volunteers have been divided into 5 groups...") but the answer doesn't need to handle that. All it needs to handle is that each group must have a number of people that's divisible by 5. So, if the initial number of volunteers is 11, the answer should be 4 because that allows you to get to 15 which would make 3 5-person groups.
