  SELF-CHECK NUMBER GENERATION - Patent 3686629
The machine may operate under no program control or under the control of either a first or second program, the state of program control being operator selectable by means of a switch on the keyboard control panel.
The Self-Check Number DCA operates in conjunction with the Keyboard DCA (or with another data entry DCA, such as a card reader), and may utilize the address validation logic of the Keyboard DCA or internal ADV logic to halt the traffic state sequencer at TS2 until a record length operation is complete.
It should be noted that with Modulo 10 checking, the check-digit may be generated in the DCA to be placed in buffer memory of the CCU or the check-digit may be previously calculated and appear on the source document.

  Modulo operation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given two numbers, a and n, a modulo n (abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder, on division of a by n.
Modulo operations might be implemented such that division with remainder is calculated each time.
Modulo — many uses of the word "modulo", all of which grew out of Carl F. Gauss's introduction of modular arithmetic in 1801.

 System for simultaneous transmission of data blocks or vectors between a memory and one or a number of data-processing ...
However, the systems which operate in the MIMD mode are subject to many practical difficulties in regard to settlement of conflicts arising from access to data shared between all the processing units, in regard to efficient management of resources, synchronization mechanisms to be employed, and in regard to the management of concurrent processing tasks.
2, in the case of the element 147, the operation 147 mod 25 produces the result 22 (22 being the remainder of the division of the number 147 by the number 25) and the number 22 corresponds to the number of the physical array in which the element 147 is located.
The arrival address of this element is obtained by performing the modulo-5 operation on the sequence number 22 which consists in finding the remainder of the division of the sequence number 22 by the number 5, which gives the number 2.

 5.6 Binary arithmetic operations
Plain or long integer division yields an integer of the same type; the result is that of mathematical division with the `floor' function applied to the result.
(modulo) operator yields the remainder from the division of the first argument by the second.
operator is also overloaded by string and unicode objects to perform string formatting (also known as interpolation).

To say A equals B modulo C means that A-B is divisible by C. More generally, to say 'X modulo Y' is true means that the difference between X being true and X not being true is a factor of Y. Mathie Jargon.
In computers, often considered to be an operation on two integers, a and b, the remainder operation a modulo b (or a mod b, or a%b) giving the unique r between 0 and b-1 (inclusive) such that a = r (modulo b).
The official terminology is a = b (modulo c), but often you know you are operating with a particular modulus, and simply write a = b, e.g.

 3.2 Arithmetic
The modulo operation is useful in several contexts in shaders, for instance to compute sawtooth stripe functions or to wrap coordinates.
the “*” operator on matrices is overloaded to mean matrix multiplication, not componentwise multiplication, and “/” is defined to be multiplication by the matrix inverse of the second argument.
All arithmetic operations return the same type as their arguments, if the arguments are the same type, with the exceptions that subtracting two ShPoints yields an ShVector, and similarily adding an ShVector to an ShPoint returns an ShPoint.

 Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
The word "multiplication" refers to the group operation (which is most certainly not exponentiation), which is "multiplication modulo n." This might be confusing, so I'll explain it in full detail.
So the binary operation on this set that makes it a group is called "multiplication modulo p." It is not just plain multiplication, because then one would obtain numbers not in the original set, e.g., 20.
If you are familiar with multiplicative inverses modulo a composite number, then you would know that the only way to do this is to include only those elements that are relatively prime to the modulus, namely {1, 3, 5, 7} and then define the group operation as multiplication modulo 8.

 Duration Scaling
As an example, if the algorithm's output values are (1, 0, 2, 3) and you use the default duration range of 0 to 5, the division operation will yield the pitch values (1, 0, 3, 5).
The modulo operation scales the output values into a cyclical pattern throughout the range you provide.

 Class notes CS251B -- Winter 1997
When it is subject to a Union operation where its representative pointer changes, the size of the new set in which x now lives in is at least twice as large.
The time of this operation within this setup is given by the distance of the node x to the root.
This FindSet operation is based on a two-pass method : it first makes one pass up the find path to locate the root and a second pass up the find path to update each node so that it points directly to the root.

 MS SQL Server - Lesson 7: SQL Operators and Operands
The modulo operation is used to get the remainder of a division as a natural number.
For example, when studying the algebraic operations, we saw that the subtraction is not associative and can lead to unpredictable results.
In the same way, if your operation involves various operators such as a mix of addition(s) and subtraction(s), you can use parentheses to specify how to proceed with the operations, that is, what operation should (must) be performed first.

 Modular Arithmetic - Wolfram Demonstrations Project
Because 0 is always represented by fl and 1 by white, it makes these values easy to spot in the table.
For example, to determine which numbers have multiplicative inverses mod 12, you simply need to move the modulus slider to 12, the operation to times, and then determine which rows of the table have the white "1" square.
By using this Demonstration, you can see a wide range of values and different operations for modular arithmetic, which is quite useful for those beginning to study algebra/number theory.

 The Rabin-Karp Algorithm
Luckily, we can exploit an important property of the modulo operation- taking the modulus of intermediate steps of an addition, multiplication, or subtraction calculation has no effect on the outcome of the calculation.
This means that by performing the modulo operation early and often, we can compute the modulus of the results of operations on very large numbers without actually ever worrying about the size of the numbers, as long as the modulus we are using is not very large.
However, the modulus operation can be eliminated from the algorithm by choosing a different hashing function that has the same property that it is easy to compute from the previous string, yet does not require so many modulo operations.

 David Stiller’s blog » Blog Archive » Lesser Known Operators:  Modulo (%)
Modulo is one of the multiplicative operators, a category whose members take two operands and perform a multiplication, division, or modulo operation on them.
Modulo tells you right away which is which: if a number mod 2 equals zero, it’s even.
The thing about operators is that they’re usually just punctuation marks, which makes them a bit tougher to locate.

 Legacy:Useful Maths Functions - Unreal Wiki
The modulo operator is defined as the remainder after integer division of its first argument by its second argument.
In IEEE 754 the remainder operation is a rounding division, not a truncating division, and therefore complies with the historical definition based on equivalence classes.
We are talking about (at least) 12 interpreter operations for the shifting version as opposed to 6 for the log version, which means half as many runs through a potentially fairly complicated (with OO and all) interpreter loop.
