For any integer n and where k is power of 2,
n % k = n & (k-1)
Example
I wasn't able to proof this statement, how could it be proofed without taking number as example?
Thanks in Advance!

What is proof for finding remainder(%) when n divide by k, if k is power of two.
For any integer n and where k is power of 2,
n % k = n & (k-1)
Example : Let n = 26 and k = 2 ^ 3 = 8 , so 26 % 8 = 2
bin(26) = 11010
bin(8-1) = 00111
26 & 7 = 00010 = 2, which is CORRECT
...
