Hey Kevin,

the remainder is not really a fancy word for something. :) It's just how you call the value that remains when you can't divide something evenly.

So in this case we're dividing 15 by 7. You can't divide this evenly. However 7 fits into 15 two times evenly and then there will be a remainder of 1. The modulo operator (%) will give you the remainder of a division which means 15 % 7 = 1.

I hope I could make it a bit more clear. If you have any further questions feel free to ask! :)
