    smaller number modulo bigger number all equals smaller number

    I can comprehend why any number smaller that the number the other side of modulo equals the smaller number. How does this work?

    Code:
    int main()
    {
    int mod = 2;
        
    mod %= 12;
        
    cout << ": " << mod << endl;
    
    
    return 0;
    }

    Can you explain in your own words what modulo is?
