Numbers can look different depending on where you are. Imagine you have a pizza and you split it with your friends, sometimes the slices seem bigger, or maybe they look smaller when there are more of them. It's kind of like that with numbers: they might hide or change shape if you're looking at them from another angle.
Examples
- If you have 10 candies and split them into two groups, they hide like 2 is inside 10.
- When it's 3 o'clock and then you add 4 hours, the clock goes to 7, like numbers are hiding under a different name.
- You can think of modulo as the remainder that comes out when dividing numbers.
