Modulus OperatorΒΆ
The modulus operator % can be used to find the remainder resulting from dividing one integer by another. If a and b are integers, then the expression a % b will evaluate to the remainder resulting from dividing a by b.
print(37 % 5)

print(38 % 5)

We can use the modulus operator to determine if one number is evenly divisible by another.
x = 42
print(x % 7 == 0)
True
x = 32
print(x % 7 == 0)
False
x = 17
print((x > 5) and (x % 2 == 1))
True
