remainder division it shows the amount left over useful when figuring out items that are broken into smaller increments like a pack of gum ... if you have 100 people. how many packs would be needed if each pack contain 15 peices... you could use modulo(%) to count the extra. pack

It's called modulus (%). This operator shows the remainder of division.

The modulo operation finds the remainder after division of one number by another (sometimes called modulus). Given two positive numbers, Dividend and Divisor, “Dividend modulo Divisor” (or, “Dividend % Divisor”) is the remainder of the division of Dividend by Divisor. For example, the expression "5 % 2" would evaluate to 1 because 5 divided by 2 leaves a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1, while "9 % 3" would evaluate to 0 because the division of 9 by 3 has a quotient of 3 and leaves a remainder of 0; there is nothing to subtract from 9 after multiplying 3 times 3.

This symbol means modulus. It gives the remainder. Example:- 10 % 3 =1
