Example:
2 % 2
returns you an reminder of 0 ( 2 / 2 = 1 and no reminder)
3 % 2
returns you an reminder of 1 ( 3 / 2 = 1.5 so in this case reminder 1)
ok this explanation maybe is a bit confusing... let´s put it this way:
45 % 33
returns you an reminder of 12... why? 33 fits one time in 45 and you have 12 left... your reminder...
I apologize if i explain this maybe a little bit complicated, but i hope you can see the pattern.
