The AI Help suggests we can calculate the modulus of a number using the % character. But this fails for me.
Help:
…
5. In the “Type” dropdown, select “Other” and then choose “Math”.
6. Give the column a name and click “Done”.
7. In the “Configuration” field of the Math Column, write the formula to calculate the modulus using the “%” operator. For example, if your number column is named “Number”, the formula would be “Number % 5” to calculate the modulus of the number column divided by 5.
Has anyone else calculated modulus? I need this for a Glide table entry form (so Sheets won’t work).
Thanks!

If you want to divide by 5 then it’s…
Amount/5
Edit: For modulus its’s written like…
Mod(5,7)
Nope, that was from the AI help.
I want to know if a value is a multiple of 500 ($). I can get around this with some math namely:
AMOUNT column [assume 8250]
SHARES is ROUND(AMOUNT / 500, 0) = 17 (shares $500 each)
SHAREAMOUNT is SHARES * 500 = 8500
AMOUNT VALID? is IF SHAREAMOUNT = AMOUNT = TRUE, otherwise = FALSE
But a modulus (math) column would be simpler.
Oh, I didn’t see mention of MOD() function. That works too!
Thanks!
Please always take the replies from the AI bot with a grain of salt, it can always hallucinate info.
Understood, thanks. But there was no mention of modulus elsewhere, so that was my fallback! Cool that Glide is testing this out in a practical way. It usually helps me. 
Under ‘Functions’
I always check the docs… almost never use the AI
You’re right, Eric, I missed it there. I searched for “modulus” and scanned the functions list but missed MOD.
I understand the AI is imperfect, but it also usually points to the primary reference for its advice, so I can find where in the docs an item is listed.
Thanks!
