Look up modulo in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

The word modulo, in the mathematical community, is often used informally, in many imprecise ways. Generally, to say "A is the same as B modulo C" means, more-or-less, "A and B are the same except for differences accounted for or explained by C". For details, see modulo (jargon).

In the various branches of mathematics, it may be used in connection with:

• modular arithmetic, a ≡ b (mod n)
• modulo operation, in computing, the remainder after division
• an ideal (ring theory) in ring theory of mathematics.
• an equivalence relation.

It also may refer to:

• Módulo, a Brazilian company specializing in IT governance.
• Ferrari Modulo, a concept car from 1970.
