Answer 2

modulus

The modulus-function computes the remainder of a division, which is the "leftover" of an integral division.

floor

The floor-function provides the lower-bound of integral division. The upper-bound is computed by the ceil function. (Basically speaking, the floor-function cuts off all decimals).

Answer 3

Floor will round the decimal down and uses the / operator in most languages I know

eg.

5 / 2 = 2 no decimal after the 2

Modulo division returns the remainder and uses the % operator

5 % 2 = 1
