MOD(n,d)

• $n$ is any real number and $d$ is the divisor

Description

• This function gives the remainder of the number after dividing with some number.
• When we divide two integers we will get the result like this: ${\frac {X}{Y}}=Q$ with remainder $R$. Here $X$ is the dividend, $Y$ is the divisor, $Q$ is the Quotient and $R$ is the remainder.So $MOD(n,d)=R$.
• For e.g., MOD(5,2)=1. Here 1 is the remainder.
• The $MOD$ function we can write using $INT$ function: $MOD(n,d)=n-d*INT(n/d)$.
• This function will return the result as error when the $d$ value is 0.
• Suppose the value of $n$ and $d$ with same sign either '+' or '-',then the result also with same sign.
• But $n$ and $d$ are with different then the result will come with the $d$ sign only.

Examples

1. =MOD(5,2)=1
2. =MOD(-11,-3)-2
3. =MOD(25,5)=0
4. =MOD(12,-4)=0
5. =MOD(85,-9)=-5
6. =MOD(-52,7)=4
7. =MOD(0,9)=0
8. =MOD(9,0)=NAN
9. =MOD(5.5,2)=1.5
