Modulo (mathematics)

Modulo is a way of doing math when you are trying to figure out how many times something fits into another number. For example, if you had 12 pieces of candy, and wanted to figure out how many groups of 4 pieces you could make, you would use modulo. To do this, you would divide 12 by 4, which equals 3. That means you can make 3 groups of 4 pieces each.
