26 / 6 = 24 with remainder 2. 26 % 6 returns the remainder of 26 / 6, which is 2.

It's output is 2 because, 26 divided by 6 = 4 with remainder 2. '%' sign stands for modulus, which means remainder. So, 26 divided by 6 will leave 2 as remainder, and 2 will be the output. Another example: 17 % 3 = 2
