The REMAINDER function divides the first number value you specify by the second number value you specify and returns the remainder. 

If the divisor is zero, Author generates a divide by zero error (NaN = Not a Number).

This function is one of Author's Mathematical Functions and Operators, which are useful for performing various calculations.

Function name REMAINDER
Usage model REMAINDER ( dividend:NUM, divisor:NUM ) 
Parameter This function requires you to replace two parameters:

dividend: NUM

 The function divides this value by the value of divisor: NUM.

divisor: NUM

 The function divides the value of dividend: NUM by this value.
Result A number value.

Example

In the following example, the number variable nu2 is divided by 2 in order to find out whether it is even or odd:

IF ( REMAINDER(nu2, 2) = 0 )

SET EvenTF TO TRUE
