title: How to use the remainder operator
body: <p>Currently I am working with the % operator in Java. I thought I understood it but after coming across this question am now confused. So I know that 10 % 3 = Remainder 1. My question is why would 3 % 8 = Remainder 3 I thought that this would instead equal 0 because 3 goes into 8 zero times? Another example would be 2 % 8 = Remainder 2 why would this ones remainder not be zero also? If someone could explain why this is that would be awesome! Thank you!</p>
