Is there a math operation we can use in Visual Basic smplar to the % in C++? Basically I want to divide one number by another and see if there is a remainder

Like 5%2=1 and 4%2=0
Thanks
 
Used to divide two numbers and return only the remainder.

Syntax

result = number1 Mod number2

The Mod operator syntax has these parts:

Part Description
result Required; any numeric variable.
number1 Required; any numeric expression.
number2 Required; any numeric expression.



Remarks

The modulus, or remainder, operator divides number1 by number2 (rounding floating-point numbers to integers) and returns only the remainder as result. For example, in the following expression, A (result) equals 5.

A = 19 Mod 6.7

Usually, the data type of result is a Byte, Byte variant, Integer, Integer variant, Long, or Variant containing a Long, regardless of whether or not result is a whole number. Any fractional portion is truncated. However, if any expression is Null, result is Null. Any expression that is Empty is treated as 0.
