So lemme explain with 47%6. Note that 6*7+5=47. Hence 47/6 leaves a remaimder of 5, or 47%6=5

forget about floating point numbers for a moment and go back to elementary school where you calculated division like this: how often does 2 fit in 5? it fits in there 2 times leaving a remainder of 1 (2*2 = 4 -> 5-4 = 1) This remainder is what modulo calculates. Whatever is left in an integer division.
