Answer 2

It gives remainder after it is divided as many times as it can.

4%2...... 0
2, 4 - 0 left over

10%2.... 0
2,4,6,8,10 - 0 left over

10%3.... 1
3,6,9 - 1 left over

15%4.... 3
4,8,12 - 3 left over

Common use is to check for even or odd numbers.

if number%2 == 0:
Number is even

if number%2 != 0:
Number is odd

Answer 3

it returns the reminder value of division as:
3%2=1
- 3/2=1.5
so the float no. is 0.5 multiply it to 2 not 3 so it equal 1
so 3%2=1
- 10 %6=4
10/6=1.6666666666667
0.6666666666667 × 6=4
10%6=4
