# Function mod
Calculates the modulus, the remainder of an integer division.
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
The modulus is defined as:
x - y * floor(x / y)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation.
## Syntax
```js
math.mod(x, y)
```
### Parameters

--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Dividend
`y` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Divisor
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Returns the remainder of `x` divided by `y`.
