I don't understand how this operator works.

If we divide 1.25 by .5 than, we can write: 1.25= .5*2(here .5*2=1)+.25 (here .25 is remainder, here further division approaches not followed as normal mathematical process follows, in normal mathematical process, we can write 1.25/.5 = 2.5) hence, 1.25 divided by .5, quotient is 2 and .25 isn't divided by .5 so it is remainder. above term is expressed by modulus sign (%),where % shows only remainder,not shows quotient. it is expressed by 5%2 = 1 11%4 = 3 5%3 = 2 3%5 = 3 6%5 = 1 12%7 = 5 2%2 = 0 1.25%.5 = .25

Every integer can be expressed like this N=Qk+R(0=<R<k) N is the number k is the number divided Q is the value multiplied by k and R is the REMAINDER. N/k returns the Q N%k returns the R %can be made by A%B=A-A/B*B Hope this makes you understand more :)
