The MOD function is an inbuilt function in PLSQL which is used to return the remainder when a is divided by b. Its formula is m - n * \left\lfloor\dfrac{m}{n}\right\rfloor. Syntax: 
MOD(a, b)
Parameters Used: This function accepts two parameters a and b. This function gives remainder as the output when the input number a is divided by b. Return Value: This function returns the remainder when a is divided by b. Supported Versions of Oracle/PLSQL is given below:
  1. Oracle 12c
  2. Oracle 11g
  3. Oracle 10g
  4. Oracle 9i
  5. Oracle 8i
Let’s see some examples which illustrate the MOD function: Example-1: 
DECLARE      Test_Number number1 := 15;     Test_Number number2 := 4;       BEGIN      dbms_output.put_line(MOD(Test_Number number1,                               Test_Number number2));        END;
Output: 
3
In the above example, when the numeric value 15 is divided by 4 then it returns the remainder of 3 as output. Example-2: 
DECLARE      Test_Number number1 := 15;     Test_Number number2 := 0;       BEGIN      dbms_output.put_line(MOD(Test_Number number1,                               Test_Number number2));        END;
Output: 
15
In the above example, when the numeric value 15 is divided by 0 then it returns the remainder of 15 as output. Example-3: 
  DECLARE      Test_Number number1 := 11.6;     Test_Number number2 := 2.1;       BEGIN      dbms_output.put_line(MOD(Test_Number number1,                               Test_Number number2));        END;
Output: 
1.1
In the above example, when the numeric value 11.6 is divided by 2.1 then it returns the remainder of 1.1 as output. Advantage: This function is used to find the remainder when a is divided by b.
