% is modulo operator, and what it means is to return remainder after division. So the answer for modulo is the remainder. 3 divides 17 , 5 times with a remainder of 2 17 % 3 = 5 remainder 2 and since the remainder is the answer, hence 17% 3 = 2

17 % 3 = 5 17 : 3 ≈ 5 5 * 3 = 15 2 = 17-15

X%Y=Z means the remainder when x is divided by y is z. So 17%3=15/3 remainder =17-15=2 If you understood please leave a mark up,If you didn't email me (my email is ivansing23@gmail.com)
