If you divide 7 by 3, then the result is 2, because 3*2=6 and 6 is the nearest whole number. Thus the quotient is 2. Now what remains? 7-6 = 1. So 1 is the remainder.

Things get a bit tricky, though, when negatives come in: 14 % 5 = 4 14 % -5 = -1 -14 % 5 = 1 -14 % -5 = -4 It always counts the remainder comparing the dividend to the *lower* no-fraction number. So to 10 and -15 in the examples above, respectively. In Python, unlike some other languages, the modulo result always has the same sign as the divisor (observe the sign of 5 in the examples above).
