"Mod" - Arithmetic Modulus Operation
This section provides some detail rules and a tutorial example on how arithmetic modulus operation works in VBScript.
Here are some detail rules about the arithmetic operation - modulus:
Here is a tutorial example showing you how arithmetic modulus operation rules work:

Here is the output of this VBScript example script:
21 Mod 7=0 : Integer 20.6 Mod 7=0 : Long 24 Mod 7=3 : Integer 24 Mod 6.6=3 : Long 24 Mod 6.4=0 : Long 3 Mod 777777=3 : Long 3 Mod 9.99=3 : Long 3.33 Mod 9.99=3 : Long 3 Mod "7"=3 : Long 3 Mod True=0 : Integer False Mod True=0 : Integer Empty Mod 3=0 : Integer
The output confirms some of arithmetic modulus operation rules:
