Not sure what I'm doing wrong with remainders and dividing

in the picture is how i divided a and b to show a remainder. Can someone please help me or show me the right way of doing this?

def mod (a, b)
  puts divide (a % b)
end

You just need to return the value of a % b. It would look like this

def mod (a, b)
  return a % b
end

Then to call it, you'd do

mod(a, b)
