Módulo question

Question

Can someone explain modulo? For instance in this problem why is the remainder 6.333?

X = 6.333
X %= 9

Answer 1

Sal

remainder is 6.333 because modulo operatore return the remainder, upto the point when the numerator is perfectly divisible by deniminator for example

say, num1 = 10, num2 = 5

when, num1 / num2 = 2

but num1 % num2 = 0

in your case,

X = X % 9,
X = 6.333 % 9, since denominator is 9 and numerator is 6.333.

9 is greater than 6.333

so if 6.333 / 9 = 0.7036 (say) but

6.333 % 9 = 6.333, because we are doing modulo operation not division and 6.333 is not perfectly divisible by 9

more example,

say, 1 / 2 = 0.5

but 1 % 2 = 1, because 1 is not perfectly divisible by 2

5 % 2 = 1,
