How modulus work when we have proper fraction?

Question

x = 2
print(x) # answer =2

x %= 3

print(x) # answer =2
i = 2%3
print (i) # answer =2

but 2/3 = 0.6666667
how it is working???

Answer 1

Modulus doesn't show quotient, it always shows remainder.

2%3 = 2
here
2 is divided by 3 and only want the result of remainder, 2 is remainder.

Here, fractional value isn't accepting, only integer value is in consideration.

Answer 2
