Remainder calculation

Calculation Steps

1.Divide 10 by 3: 10 ÷ 3 = 3 with remainder 1
2.Apply the modulo formula: 10 mod 3 = 10 - (3 × floor(10/3))
3.10 - (3 × 3) = 10 - 9 = 1
Remainder
1

10 mod 3 = 1

What Is the Modulo Operation?

The modulo operation returns the remainder after division. It is used in arithmetic, computer science, cyclic indexing, and checking divisibility.

How to Calculate Modulo

  1. Divide the dividend by the divisor.
  2. Take the floor of the quotient if needed.
  3. Multiply the divisor by that quotient.
  4. Subtract that product from the dividend.
a mod n = a - (n × floor(a / n))

Worked Example

Example: 10 mod 3 = 1.

10 - (3 × 3) = 1

Frequently Asked Questions

Is modulo the same as remainder?

Not always. Some programming languages expose remainder behavior that differs for negative values.

Can the divisor be negative?

The calculator accepts it, but the result follows the standard modulo formula used here.

What if the divisor is zero?

Zero is rejected because division by zero is undefined.

Does this calculator support decimals?

Yes. Any finite real numbers are accepted.
