% returns the remainder of a division. 9 % 3 = 0 9 % 2 = 1 11 % 3 = 2

In usual way 9/2 = 4 r 1 In programming 9/2 = 4 (whole quotient) 9%2 = 1 (remainder only)

This is the formula: 7%3 = ? 7:3 = 2,³ (Make the division) 3*2 = 6 (Make Divider * number on the left of the comma) 7-6 = 1 (Now do the substraction and you have your result) 7%3 = 1 Source: School

a%b => a=bq+r , now "r" is our answer like 9%3 => 9=3x3+0 , zero is our answer like 26%6 => 26=6x4+2 , now 2 is our answer i hope u understand this source : school

% is know as remainder calculation operator.. where we calculate the division of two numbers and calculate theri mode(remainder) e.g. 10%2=0; 10%3=1; 10%4=2; etc.

it always gives a positive number as remainder like 27%5=2 as 5*5=25 and 27-25=2 where 2 is a remainder

10 % 2 == 5 It means When 10 is divided by 2 , It gives 0 as Remainder. Basically '/' Stands for Quotient '%' Stands for Remainder.

IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND..... EXAMPLE = ((int x; x = 6%3; cout<<x<<endl;)) in this ............. 6 divides with 3 as we know that 3*2 = 6 so their is no remainder hence the output will be = 0 ******__________________****** /*IT MEANS THAT "MODULO(%)" MEANS HOW MUCH IS THE REMAINDER WHEN A NUMBER IS DIVIDED WITH OTHER/*

% returns the remainder suppose 9%3 will give you 0 as answer because when we divide 9 by 3 no remainder remain hence answer will be zero.

Ok, lets say you have 18/4, how do you do this ? without , ! 18 / 4 = 4 * 4 + 2 ! 18%4=2 780 / 3 = 250 * 3 + 30. 780%3=30

Division and Remainders Sometimes when dividing there is something left over. It is called the remainder. Example: There are 7 bones to share with 2 pups. But 7 cannot be divided exactly into 2 groups, so each pup gets 3 bones, but there will be 1 left over "7 divided by 2 equals 3 with a remainder of 1" 7%3=1 <cite>https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/division-remainder.html</cite>

% is called Modulus. It is used to get the remainder of the division. Example: 1). 10%3=1 1 is the answer since 1 is the remainder. 2). 10%4=2 3). 50%9=5 Ps.I hope you understand
