No, the remainder is 2, the value you give is the fractional part.
Think back to your first few years at school, you will have been taught something like "five divided by three is one remainder two", the modulo operator is the grown up version of those early math lessons.

modulus operator to start with and second that .6666...7 is 2/3. Got that? Two thirds. Modulus is the remainder when there is one.
