what is modulo

Question

tell me in detail

Answer 1

modulo = the remainder of a division.
3%2 = 1 (3 = 2*1 + 1)
15%8 = 7 (15 = 8*1 + 7)

most languages use the symbol % to present it.

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

Before that you have to know that Operaters Assignment s Concepts in Any Programming Language
i believe you know that
Modulo is also one of the operator for calculations
it is represented by "%"
The purpose of using this operator is to find Remainder
Lets take an example
if 24℅12 Quotient is 2 Remainder is 0
or
13%2 in this case Quotient is 6 Remainder is 1

This is how it is useful

Answer 4

modulo is %
when modulo is performed over numbers it gives remainder as output.
1%2 : 1
4%2 : 0
5%3 : 2

Answer 5

modulo operator is used for finding the reminder..for example 9%2 =1

Answer 6

it means remainder

Answer 7

to get the remainder

Answer 8

The modulo operator is %.
It is the remainder after dividing.
For example: 9%4 = 1 or 13%5=3
