Modulo (jargon)

Okay, so let's imagine you have a cake that you need to cut into pieces for your friends. But you want to make sure everyone gets an even amount of cake.

This is where modulo comes in. Modulo helps you figure out how many pieces of cake you'll have left over after you've divided it evenly among your friends.

Here's how it works. Let's say you have 10 pieces of cake and 3 friends you want to share with. You divide 10 by 3, which equals 3 with a remainder of 1. The remainder is what we're interested in here.

So, in this case, you have 1 piece of cake left over after dividing it evenly among 3 friends. And we would write it out like this: 10 mod 3 = 1.

In math terms, modulo is a fancy way of saying you want the remainder when you divide one number by another. But in cake terms, it's all about making sure your friends get equal portions and nobody feels left out.
