what does the percentage mean? (%)

Answer 1

That percent sign is called a modulo.

The % (modulo) operator yields the remainder from the division of the first argument by the second. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type. A zero right argument raises the ZeroDivisionError exception. The arguments may be floating point numbers, e.g., 3.14%0.7 equals 0.34 (since 3.14 equals 4*0.7 + 0.34.) The modulo operator always yields a result with the same sign as its second operand (or zero); the absolute value of the result is strictly smaller than the absolute value of the second operand.

Answer 2

If you mean like this.
(%=Modulus)
5%2=1

5 Divided by 2 is 4, so remaining will be 1. So % gives you the remaining after dividing
