title: How does a modulo operation work when the first number is smaller?
body: <p>I'm messing with the modulo operation in python and I understand that it will spit back what the remainder is.</p>
  
  <p>But what if the first number is smaller than the second?</p>
  
  <p>for instance</p>
  
  <p>2 % 5  the answer is 2.</p>
  
  <p>How does that work?</p>
  
  <p>2/5 = .4</p>
