const rest = 17 % 5;
console.log(rest);The expression produces 2, which is stored in the rest constant.
LESSON 11 OF 50
Calculate a remainder
Use the % operator to obtain the remainder of a division.
STEP 1 · LEARN
How it works
The % operator returns the remainder after dividing the first number by the second. For 17 and 5, the integer quotient is 3 and the remainder is 2.
const rest = 17 / 5;
console.log(rest);The / operator calculates the quotient 3.4, not the remainder.
STEP 2 · APPLY
Your exercise
Declare rest as 17 % 5 and print the variable.

- ○rest is declared with const.
- ○The rest initializer uses 17 % 5.
- ○The output is 2.
Explain the solution logic
The operator is applied to the required values, and the output confirms the real result.
