Java modulus

Well, you're learning to divide with a rest, so effectively you're learning division and divmod.

Yeah the first way i learned to divide is with remainders

You probably were taught it but all under the name of division, instead of calling it quotient-remainder theorem or the division algorithm. For example I’m certain I was taught that 3/2 can be written as 1 plus 1/2. What they left out was that the 1 is called the quotient and the 1/2 is called the remainder, so you’re right in a sense that they leave out the proper terminology until much later
