Answer 2

Basically it calculates what's left (the remainder) from a division.
For instance, dividing between odd and even numbers will often leave a remainder greater than 0.

An example:
8/3 = 2, remainder = 2 --> 3 goes into 8 twice & leaves out 2 (sorry if this confuses you more).

More examples:
5/4 = 1, remainder = 1
2/2 = 1, remainder = 0
19/5 = 3, remainder = 4

How I used to calculate it as a kid, using the last example, I'd count the multiples of 5, so 5 10 15, then stop there and see how much I need to get from 15 to 19, 4 in this case.

Easy way to calculate with a calculator: divide as you normally do, then remove the numbers after the decimal point, multiply by the number you divided with, here your remainder will be the number you get when you subtract the answer you got from the original number you divided.

Answer 3

Modulus is represented using the symbol%, If we take 5%(modulus)3= the quotient is 1 and remainder is 2 ,Here we take remainder as answer.
