The same way you use division: it has the same precedence as division, but it returns the remainder of the division. It works with floats, not only integers, so 2.4 % 2 returns 0.4

the modulus is the remainder of 2 numbers divided. 4 ÷ 21 = 5...the remainder of 1 is the modulus. often used to find odd or even numbers. odds will always have a modulos while evens will never have a modulous when divided by 2. example 10 ÷ 2 = 5. even..no modulus 11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 remaining. odd..it has a modulus
