A modulo operation determines what the remainder will be when a number is divided by another.

Step-by-step explanation:

An example of this would be 7 and 2. If we were to write the modulo operation for this, it would be written as "7 mod 2". The answer to this would be 1, since when we divide 7 by 2 we get 3 with a 1 remainder.
