mathematically : 11%3 = 3 x 3 + 2 so the output is 2 10%3 = 3 x 3 + 1 so the output is 1 9%3 = 3 x 3 + 0 so the output is 0 8%3 = 2 x 3 + 2 so the output is 2 7%3 = 2 x 3 + 1 so the output is 1

Use the modulo operator % 11 % 3 = 2

Imagine you have a and b. a = 11 and b = 3 You substract the product of (('a' divided by 'b') times 'b') from 'a'. Example in C#: https://code.sololearn.com/c6e0kzR7UpX7/?ref=app

If you do it on paper : 3 ) 40 ( 13 "this is the answer" 3 ---- 10 9 ---- 1 "this is the remainder" 40 divided by 3 results 13 and remainder is 1.
