How does a modulo operation work when the first number is smaller?
modulo
Solution
Does this help
22 % 5 = 2
17 % 5 = 2
12 % 5 = 2
7 % 5 = 2
2 % 5 = 2
Maybe this
22 / 5 = 4 + 2/5
17 / 5 = 3 + 2/5
12 / 5 = 2 + 2/5
7 / 5 = 1 + 2/5
2 / 5 = 0 + 2/5
Problem
I'm messing with the modulo operation in python and I understand that it will spit back what the remainder is. But what if the first number is smaller than the second? for instance 2 % 5 the answer is 2. How does that work? 2/5 = .4
