Purpose

MODreturns the remainder ofn2divided byn1. Returnsn2ifn1is 0.

This function takes as arguments any numeric datatype or any nonnumeric datatype that can be implicitly converted to a numeric datatype. Oracle determines the argument with the highest numeric precedence,implicitly converts the remaining arguments to that datatype,and returns that datatype.

Examples

The following example returns the remainder of 11 divided by 4:

SELECT MOD(11,4) "Modulus" FROM DUAL;

   Modulus
----------
