Please explain Modulo (%)

Answer 1

it divides and shows the remaining .
5%2 gives 1 . 10%4 gives 2 . if no remaining found it gives 0. like 4%2 gives 0

Answer 2

In simple words, a%b gives the remainder when a is divided by b

Most students are taught that "Dividend = Divisor * Quotient + Remainder"
In more sophisticated language, this is the Division Algorithm : For any integers a and b such that b is non-zero, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = b*q + r where 0<=r<b

So a%b gives r

For example, 9 = 2*4 + 1
So 9%2 = 1

Another way to think about it is something like this.
Imagine you have 26 apples and you want to pack them in groups of 7.
26%7 will give you the number of apples left after all the groupings are done.
In this case, you will get 3 groups of 7 apples accounting for 21 apples with 5 apples left. These 5 apples cannot be packed into groups of 7 as 5<7
So 26 = 7*3 + 5
This means 26%7 = 5

Note that making 0 groups is allowed, but the number of remaining apples should be less than that in each group.

Answer 3

when u do division you get two things

QUOTIENT: which we get by / operator
example 9/4 is 2
&
REMAINDER: which we get by modulus % operator
example 9%4 is 1

Answer 4

Modulus (%) is the remainder of the denominator and numerator of a division mathematical operator.

example :
7/4 = 1 remainder 3
Answer = 3
