Urm, yeah, while this is cute and all, it's not a great way of asking
a question.

I'm not totally sure what you mean, so I'm just going to say -

a / b is the division operator. It divides things. It returns a divided by b.
a % b is the remainder operator. It returns what's "left" after dividing a by b.
