https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/2273/ This is the lesson that explains that. For a little more explanation: % ignores the number of times and only give you the remainder. For example: 20%6= 2 Because:20= 3*6+2 (20/6= 3 3*6= 18 20-18=2) Hope this helps. ( If i haven't been so clear of course you are welcome to ask me something more)
