# mod() function

The mod() function returns the remainder portion of the
result of dividing one number by another.

## Syntax

```
mod(dividend, divisor)
```

## Parameter(s)

| dividend | Number to be divided by the number specified in divisor. |
| --- | --- |
| divisor | Number used to divide the number specified in dividend. |

## Description

There is no limitation on the
numeric value of *dividend* or *divisor*. The rem() and mod() functions
are identical.

## Example(s)

In this example, mod() is used to find the end of a page. Every 60 lines, a form feed (`char(12)`) is printed.

```
for i = 1 to lines
print rec<i>
if not(mod(i,60)) then print char(12):
next i
```
