How come when you do "1.25%0.5" it give you 0.25 as the remainder but normally when you try "1.25 ÷0.5" it give you 2.5?

Question

It's kind of confusing and I really need help

Answer 1

Floor division and modulo work as a team.

Floor division finds out, how many cookies you and your friends get.

Modulo finds out how many cookies will be left over.

cookies = 23
friends = 3
share = cookies // friends
cookies_left = cookies % friends

Everyone's share will be 7.
2 cookies will be left.

With float, it is basically the same: 0.5 fits two times into 1.25, and 0.25 will be left over.

% gives you remainder and / gives you quotient.
