Modulo EQUALS (Transact-SQL)

Divides one number by another and sets a value to the result of the operation. For example, if a variable @x equals 38, then @x %= 5 takes the original value of @x, divides by 5 and sets @x to the remainder of that division (3).

Syntax given here is not clear to me
Original question: Shouldn't the syntax be expression % expression = result rather than epression %= expression?
Sorry only now I got it. What I suspected here is instead the Operator % descirbed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190279%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
