Answer 3

forget about floating point numbers for a moment and go back to elementary school where you calculated division like this:
how often does 2 fit in 5?
it fits in there 2 times leaving a remainder of 1 (2*2 = 4 -> 5-4 = 1)

This remainder is what modulo calculates. Whatever is left in an integer division.

Answer 4

it just gives you the remainder
