Subject: Re: modulus/division..

i tried to get a better understanding of the % method, so i just set up 
a program to show me the results of the % of a number ...

so i tried out the number 4.

puts 4%1000
puts 4%500
puts 4%100
puts 4%50
puts 4%10
puts 4%5

and for everyline i got "4" as the remainder.. but when i tried these 
with a calulator .. i only got 4 as a remainder for the 1000. when i did 
the 4/500 i got a .008 .. so shouldn't the % be an 8?
