modulo - modulo calculation
The modulo (sometimes called modulus) function finds the remainder of division of one number by another.
modulo = a % n
Given two positive numbers, a (the dividend) and n (the divisor), a modulo is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n.

This modulo calculation is often used as verification for official numbers (banks, persons, companies, etc) in the form of a Modulo 97 verification or calculation.
Alias: Both modulo(a,n) and the shorter variant mod(a,n) are allowed.
Usage(s)
| modulo ( $dividend , $divisor ) |
Returns the remainder of the division of the dividend by the divisor |
Parameter(s)
| $dividend |
the number the will be divided by the divisor |
| $divisor |
the number that divides the dividend |
Example(s)
Modulo calculation as verification number
Pattern "mod(123456789,97)"
returns 39 as its modulo 97 verification calculation
