Why does 10 % (modulo) 1000 = 10?

Posted at: 2014-12-18 
x % y

Rule of thumb:

If x is a small number relative to y, then the result is x

10 % 127 = 10

10 % 342 = 10

10 % 974 = 10

3 % 127 = 3

3 % 342 = 3

3 % 974 = 3

Maybe think of it this way….

1000 divides 10 zero times with 10 remaining.

10%127 = 10

127 divides 10 zero times with 10 remaining.

I don't understand the question. x modulo y is the remainder that you get when you divide x by y

For example, 1123 modulo 1000 = 123.

But what is the % symbol doing in your question? 10% = 0.1

0.1 modulo 1000 is 0.1.

Your question doesn't make sense. Just what are you asking????

10 is the remainer
