why z value is 12? explain me pls

Question

//here is my code.. pls tell me
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int x,y,z;
x=12;
y=24;
z=x%y;
cout<<"Value of z is" <<z;

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Z is 12 because when 12 goes into 24, the remainder is still 12

Answer 2

When x is lower than y, the intuition should be: 'x' fits exactly *zero* times into 'y' and there is still a 'y' remainder left :)

Answer 3

:/

Answer 4

from modulus in math since your X is lower than the y and the output is an integer, therefore your X would be the remainder because no division occurred. try exchanging X with a number lower than y and you would get X as the remainder and output.
