if statement with modus (divisible)


Hi, i want to make an if statement with modus:
Code:
if [ $v % 6 == 0 ] ; then
do something
fi
this doesnt give the correct output, is there some brackets missing?
Thanks

Not missing ... just incorrect ones:
Code:
if (( v % 6 == 0 )) ; then
    do something
fi

Hi, thanks for your help, but it still doesnt work:
Code:

somewhile loop
do
if (( $i % 6 == 0 )) ; then
echo "true"
fi
i=$(($i+1))
done
gives 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150
