Because 5 รท 20 = 0 with a remainder of 5.
Yes, we could also say that it is 1/4 or 0.25, but the concept of remainder or modulus come from the idea of whole number division.
Another way to think of this is:
modulus = dividend - Math.floor(dividend / divisor)
// or
modulus = dividend - Math.floor(quotient)
In this case, Math.floor(quotient)
is 0.
