totally mistaken on modulo.my bad..

I get it and thank you!

I guess , what I wanted to get out of this was the quotient NOT the remainder

so if I divide the number 20 by 5, I want the quotient 4. ok, let me try this again

then ,next step, is to write a program to find the smallest number that are evenly divided by all the given max_range numbers. ie: like 0-10.

use strict;
use warnings;
use integer;
use constant number => 5;
my %result;
for ( my $i=0; $i<=20 ;$i++){
    #my ($quo, $rem)= ($i/5, $i%5); #need to understand modulo 
    #print "this is quotient",$quo,"when this is divident $i \n";
    #print "this is remainder",$rem,"\n";
     if ($i%5==0 && $i!=0){
         print "this is the quotient",$i/5,"\n";
         print "this is the divident",$i,"\n";
         }
    }

I think you might benefit from the use of intin order to chop off the fractional component for $quo.

I used "use integer;" wouldn't this be correct? or should I add the int while doing the operation $i%5.

use strict;
use warnings;
use integer;
use constant number => 5;

if I have to add this here, what situation am I avoiding?

I don't quite understand this

to chop off the fractional component for $quo

print "this is the quotient",int $i/5,"\n";
