We can classify whole numbers into certain groups. For example, Odd and Even, or numbers that are divisible by two, by three, four, and so on. This is what the MOD function does. It checks if a number is divisible by another number and if not, how far away is it from being divisible. The key here, is that MOD looks backwards - i.e. to the next smaller number that was divisible and then count. MOD works the same with negative numbers. The video gives an example.
