modulus is the remainder of division. for instance 5/2 2 goes into 5 twice and leaves a remainder of 1 so 5%2 is 1 if we had 19/5, 5 goes into 19 3 times and leaves a remainder of 4 so 19%5 is 4

It is good when trying to split numbers into categories. For example, seconds into hours, minutes and seconds. var time = 1253735; //seconds var hours = Math.floor(time / (24 * 60 * 60)); var minutes = Math.floor(time % (24 * 60 * 60) / (60 * 60)); var seconds = time % (24 * 60 * 60) % ( 60 * 60);
