-2
I know the mod is the rest of the division.
12%2 = 0
29%3 = 2
But could someone please let me know the reason for this?
12%18 = 12
52%58 = 52

Let’s think about basic math:
If you take the results 12 and divide it by 18, as you would?
Well, I guess everybody here knows how to do a division account so let’s go.
12 |18
- 0 0
12
Okay. After that point we’ll have to use the comma to continue the division, so it’s no longer a number whole. With this we come to the result that 12 % 18 == 12.
0
The MOD function returns the rest after number is divided by divisor.
- Calculation of the rest of 12 by 18 = 12
- Calculation of the remainder of 52 by 58 = 52

As the name says, this is the rest of the division, these values happen because the "denominator" is larger than the "numerator", because how much else there would be on 12/18?

If you divide 12 by 18, the result is zero and the rest is 12. Python is only following what the math says :-)
