rand() returns pseudorandom value from 0 to RAND_MAX inclusive
a % b gives reminder for division a to b
if reminder is zero - it means a == b * m for some m
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

Will increasing xincrease (ie, 'b') increase the probability of the statement being true?
>Will increasing xincrease (ie, 'b') increase the probability of the statement being true?
No, decreasing it will increase the probability of the statement being true.
rand() % 1 == 0, true for every value from rand()
rand() % 2 == 0, true for every 2nd value from rand()
rand() % 3 == 0, true for every 3rd value from rand()
rand() % n == 0, true for every n:th value from rand()
