why 26%6 = 2

Question

why 26%6 = 6?

Answer 1

The modulus (%) is an arithmatic that first substracts 6 from 26 as much as posible through, like this:
26-6=20;
20-6=14;
14-6=8;
8-6=2;
What's left is the modulus.

Answer 2

Because 26 is 6*4 + 2.

Answer 3

divide 26 by 6 the remainder will be 2

Answer 4

Because 6*4=24 only so the remaining part is 2 so this happen

Answer 5

here modulus is used that means when ybou devide 26 by 6 you will take remainder as answer instead of quotient. here also 26/6 gives remainder 2

Answer 6

I made something earlier that explains how it works, you should search for "restmath".

Answer 7

because 6×4+2=26 and it's remainder is 2.

Answer 8

26=(6*4)+2

Answer 9

4*6=24
26-24=2
5*6=🚫

Answer 10

26/6
last remindor is 2
26%6 = 2

Answer 11

the % sign gives the remainder of x/y

Answer 12

{6 goes into 26 (4 times) with the remainder being 2}

Answer 13

(26÷6<4)=26%6=2

Answer 14

26/6=4
6*4=24
26-24=2
the answer is 2

Answer 15

Divide 26 by 6 after that remainder will be 2 that's actual process.

Answer 16

I got it but now loop is hankering after an elaboration. plzz fulfilled it

Answer 17

6*4+2 =26
where did you guys get the 4?

Answer 18

Getting 26%4 means to get the remainder of the division 26/4 which is 2 cause that's what's left after obtaining almost 26 by multiplying 4 times 6 = 24. If we'd multiply by 7 it exceeds 26 so we must stick to 6 with 2 left over as the result of the operation.

Answer 19

Because 2 is the remainder e.g how many times can you subtract 6 from 26 answer 4 times leaving a remainder of 2.

Answer 20

simply 26%6 = 2 means 6 * 4 + (2) then the rest of the multiplication is 2 and it's the result
