What Is This Tool?

This Online Modulo Calculator computes the remainder when one integer is divided by another, a key operation in arithmetic and computer science known as the modulo operation.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the dividend integer (A), the number you want to divide
  • Enter the divisor integer (B), the number you divide by
  • Click the calculate button to compute the remainder
  • View the result, which is the remainder \(R = A - B \times \lfloor A/B \rfloor\)

Key Features

  • Calculates the remainder of integer division (A mod B) accurately
  • Uses exact integer arithmetic to avoid floating-point errors
  • Supports common modulo use cases in programming and mathematics
  • Fast, easy to use, and accessible through your browser

Examples

  • Calculate 29 mod 5: Divide 29 by 5 to get quotient 5 and remainder 4
  • Using the formula: \(R = 29 - (5 \times 5) = 4\), so the remainder is 4

Common Use Cases

  • Finding remainders in arithmetic calculations
  • Programming tasks involving loops and conditional operations
  • Clock mathematics and cyclical pattern calculations
  • Applications in hashing, cryptography, and number theory

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values are integers for accurate results
  • Be aware that handling of negative numbers may vary by system
  • Use integer division cautiously when interpreting the quotient
  • Double-check divisor input to avoid division by zero errors

Limitations

  • Only supports integer values for dividend and divisor
  • Negative number remainders may differ depending on implementation
  • Not designed for floating-point or decimal values

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the modulo operation compute?
It calculates the remainder after dividing one integer by another.

Can I use this tool with decimal numbers?
No, the calculator only accepts integer input values for accurate results.

Why is the modulo operation useful?
It is widely used in programming, cryptography, cyclic calculations, and mathematical problem solving.

Key Terminology

Dividend (A)
The integer number being divided in the modulo operation.
Divisor (B)
The integer number by which the dividend is divided.
Remainder (R)
The result of the modulo operation representing what remains after division.
