<paragraph id="par_id3148686" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">The <literal>MOD</literal> operator takes in two numeric expressions and returns the remainder of the division.</paragraph>
</section>
<paragraph id="par_id3148004" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">For example, the result of <literal>21 MOD 6</literal> is <literal>3</literal> because after dividing 21 by 6, the remainder of the division is 3.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id111617300964049">If the <literal>MOD</literal> operation involves non-integer values, both operands are rounded to the nearest integer values. Hence, the value returned by a <literal>MOD</literal> operation will always be an integer number.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id561617302820104">For example, the expression <literal>16.4 MOD 5.9</literal> is evaluated as follows:</paragraph>
<list type="ordered">
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id151617302878527" role="listitem">The value 16.4 is rounded to 16.</paragraph>

<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id351617303087259" role="listitem">The value 5.9 is rounded to 6.</paragraph>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id91617303114774" role="listitem">The operation <literal>16 MOD 6</literal> returns 4, which is the remainder after dividing 16 by 6.</paragraph>
</listitem>
</list>
<note id="par_id921617302349290">Beware that Basic's <literal>MOD</literal> operator and Calc's <link href="text/scalc/01/04060106.xhp#bm_id3158247" name="MOD Function">MOD Function</link> behave differently. In Calc, both operands can be decimal values and they're not rounded before division, thus the resulting remainder may be a decimal value.</note>
