The Modulus method defines the operation of the modulus operator for Decimal values. It enables code such as the following:
using System; public class Example { public static void Main() { Decimal number1 = 16.8m; Decimal number2 = 4.1m; Decimal number3 = number1 % number2; Console.WriteLine("{0:N2} % {1:N2} = {2:N2}", number1, number2, number3); } } // The example displays the following output: // 16.80 % 4.10 = 0.40
If the language you're using doesn't support custom operators, call the Remainder method instead.
The sign of the value return by the modulus operation depends on the sign of dividend. If dividend is positive, the modulus operation returns a positive result; if it is negative, the modulus operation returns a negative result.
