It gives you the whole part of the answer without a remainder when two integers are divided • Mod gives the remainder
Examples • 17 \ 3 = 5 (the integer part of the quotient) • 17 Mod 3 = 2 (the remainder) • 24 \ 5 = 4, while 25 \ 5 = 5 • 24 Mod 5 = 4, while 25 Mod 5 = 0 • You can see these in action in the spreadsheet called CoinsIntegerDemo • This sheet also illustrates using a piece of clipart for a button
