res8: Int = 1
scala> 2L * 3L
res9: Long = 6
scala> 11 / 4
res10: Int = 2
scala> 11 % 4
res11: Int = 3
scala> 11.0f / 4.0f
res12: Float = 2.75
scala> 11.0 % 4.0
res13: Double = 3.0

When both the left and right operands are integral types (Int, Long, Byte, Short, or Char), the / operator will tell you the whole number portion of the quotient, excluding any remainder. The % operator indicates the remainder of an implied integer division.
