Find the division remainder of a number

How could I go about finding the division remainder of a number in Python? For example: If the number is 26 and divided number is 7, then the division remainder is 5. (since 7+7+7=21 and 26-21=5.) For simple divisibility testing, see How do you check whether a number is divisible by another number?.
you are looking for the modulo operator: a % b for example: >>> 26 % 7 5 Of course, maybe they wanted you to implement it yourself, which wouldn't be too difficult either.
