Um, what the heck are you trying to do? This doesn't seem particularly
useful, epecially if you have large numbers of UIDs. You might also want
to consider moving these sorts of non-Red Hat questions to a shell
programming mailing list instead.
That said, if for some bizarre reason you just want the modulus 100 of the
UID, use:
MOD_100=$(( $UID % 100 ))
I'd also recommend spending some time with "info bash" and the bash
reference manual at http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.02/bashref.html to
gain a better understanding of bash variables, expansions, and shell
arithmetic.
