Jul 8, 2013 · The modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, the latter being called the modulus of the operation. (source: wikipedia)

1 That is the modulo operator, which finds the remainder of division of one number by another. So in this case a will be the remainder of b divided by c.
