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;
}

O_o

Can you explain in your own words what modulo is?
