+# Remainder
+
+In mathematics, the **remainder** is the amount "left over" after performing some computation.
+For example, the remainder of `5 / 3` is `2`.
+
+Many programming languages use the percentage sign (`%`) as an operator to calculate the remainder.
+For example, this is valid code in Javascript and Python:
+```javascript
+5 % 3 == 2
+```
+
+Remainders can often be calculated on both integers and floating point numbers.
+For example,
+```javascript
+5.3 % 3 == 2.3
+```
+
+When working with negative numbers, the result always has the same sign as the dividend (the number on the left hand side that is being divided).
+For example:
+```javascript
+-5 % 3 == -2
+5 % -3 == 2
+-5 % -3 == -2
+```
+
+Some languages use the `%` operator for the calculating the modulus, not the remainder.
+This treats negative numbers differently.
+You can learn more about this [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo).
