Question

What do you mean by,
a = c modb
And how do you use this function?

across · Answer

That means that $c$ is the remainder of $a/b$.

hartnn · Answer

when c is divided by b, the remainder is a.

anonymous · Answer

$$a\equiv b  \ \ \text{mod} \ c$$
this means remainder of dividing a by c equals to remainder of dividing b by c 

for example$$35\equiv 24  \ \ \text{mod} \ 11$$

@mukushla Ohhhh. 
It doesnt mean that a is the remainder when b is divided by c?

hartnn · Answer

a=b mod c 
and 
$a\equiv b  \ \ \text{mod} \ c$
mean different.
