What is the command for not modularly congruent?
Negation of symbols in LaTeX is typically achieved prepending it with \not
. For example
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$18 \equiv 0\ (\textrm{mod}\ 9) \not\equiv 2\ (\textrm{mod}\ 9)$
\end{document}
For more elaborate, larger or lengthy symbols, you can use the cancel
package. In those instances \not
may not provide a sufficiently-centred negation. The centernot
package also provides a centred \not
for symbols with larger horizontal dimension.
The ≢ character is in Unicode as U+2262, and can be entered directly with unicode-math
. The command for it is \nequiv
in many packages, including unicode-math
, pxfonts
, txfonts
, newpxmath
, newtxmath
, stix
, stix2
, mnsymbol
and fdsymbol
.
Other symbol-lookup techniques are described in How to look up a symbol or identify a math symbol or character?
Here is an alternative, late answer using https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math, hence it requires LuaLaTeX
or XeLaTeX
. The example uses various modulo macros of the package amsmath
.
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{fontspec,amsmath,unicode-math}
\begin{document}
Here's to you, Donald and Leslie;
\begin{align*}
18 &\equiv 0 \bmod 9, \\
18 &\nequiv 1 \mod 9, \\
18 &\equiv 0 \pmod 9, \\
18 &\nequiv 1 \pod 9.
\end{align*}
\end{document}
