Must be an integer. Must not be zero.

The returned value is argument-1 modulo argument-2. The returned value is defined as:

argument-1 - (argument-2 * FUNCTION INTEGER (argument-1 / argument-2))

The following table illustrates the expected results for some values of argument-1 and argument-2.


 Argument-1               Argument-2                Return                 
  11                        5                         1                    
 -11                        5                         4
