Frequently Asked Questions

What is modulo?

Modulo (mod) returns the remainder after division. For example, 17 mod 5 = 2 because 17 = 5 × 3 + 2. It's used in cryptography, hash functions, clock arithmetic, and array indexing.

Why does JavaScript give a different result than Python for negative numbers?

JavaScript's % truncates the quotient toward zero, so -7 % 3 = -1. Python floors toward negative infinity, so -7 % 3 = 2. Both are valid — they just define 'remainder' differently. This tool shows both results when they differ.

What is the visual long division?

It shows the complete division expression: dividend ÷ divisor = decimal, the integer quotient, and the remainder calculation (dividend − divisor × quotient = remainder). This helps verify the result step by step.

What is 'mod' used for in programming?

Common uses: checking if a number is even/odd (n % 2), cycling through array indices (i % length), implementing hash tables, clock arithmetic (hours % 12), and modular exponentiation in cryptography.
