# Remainder (%)

Airkit supports the standard division operator `%`. It is used to calculate what remains when one [Number](../../variable-data-types/the-number-variable-data-type) is divided by another.

## Example

The following example shows how the remainder operator is used to calculate what remains of the Number 6 when it is divided by the Number 2. Note that it returns a another Number: 0, because 6 is neatly divisible by 2:

```json
6 % 2 -> 0
```

Not all division is so neat. The following example shows how the remainder operator is used to calculate what remains of the Number 3 when it is divided by the Number 2:

```json
3 % 2 -> 1
```
