Modulo Operation

The modulo operation, denoted by the symbol "%", returns the remainder of a division between two numbers.

Example:

If we perform the operation 10 % 3, the result is 1 because 10 divided by 3 equals 3 with a remainder of 1.

Properties of Modulo:

• The result of a modulo operation is always less than the divisor.
• If a % b equals 0, then a is divisible by b.
• Modulo can be used to check if a number is even or odd. If n % 2 equals 0, then n is even; otherwise, it is odd.

Modulo is commonly used in programming for tasks such as determining if a number is divisible by another, generating sequences, and implementing cyclic behavior.
