Modulo

The modulo operator ( % ) divides the first operand by the second operand (the modulus) and returns the remainder.

Note: A configuration parameter is available to control whether this operator allows precision/scale to exceed 38. See Decimal Digit Limitation on Functions, for details.

Syntax

operand1 % operand2

Example

11 % 3

Eleven modulo 3 is 2; that is, 11 divided by 3 has a remainder of 2.
