It's the remainder of integer division by 6.
If you recall way back in grade school when you were learning division you were taugt the report the quotient and a remainder. That remainder is the modulo
15 mod 6 = 3
because
15 = k*5+3
It's very useful for detemining if one number is a divisor or another:
when
n mod k = 0
that means that n is an integer multiple of k

MOD is like division, but only returns the remainder.
For example, 14 mod 3 return 2.
That is because 14 divided by 3 is 4 with a remainder of 2
