MOD

Returns the remainder after number is divided by divisor. The result has the same sign as divisor.

Syntax

MOD(number,divisor)

Number    is the number for which you want to find the remainder.

Divisor    is the number by which you want to divide number.

Remarks

• If divisor is 0, MOD returns the #DIV/0! error value.

• The MOD function can be expressed in terms of the INT function:

  MOD(n, d) = n - d*INT(n/d)

Formula	Description (Result)
=MOD(3, 2)	Remainder of 3/2. (1)

=MOD(3, -2)	Remainder of 3/-2. The sign is the same as divisor. (-1)
=MOD(-3, -2)	Remainder of -3/-2. The sign is the same as divisor. (-1)
