1.For integer remainder operation, where only integer operands are involved, evaluation of the expression (x % y) always satisfies the following relation:

x == (x / y) * y + (x % y)
2.The floating-point remainder r is defined by the relation:

r == a - (b * q)
where a and b are the dividend and the divisor, respectively, and q is the integer quotient of (a/b).
