Mod, why it’s useful, how to use it, and how it works.

Mod is a mathematical equation in which you divide a number by for example two and if there is a reminder you get one if nothing remains you get zero. It can be used in a verity of ways for example binary conversion.
This is an example that returns one:

An image of how to use mod for binary conversion:
Mod works by dividing your number by a specified number, such as 2 for binary, if there is a remainder, it is added to a string, if not, a zero is added, this goes on until the original number is 0.
Mod can be used to determine if a number is even or odd.
