How would we rephrase the following sentence to be grammatical? :
10 modulo 3 equals 1.
By "grammatical", I probably mean something along the lines of standard American English.
Initially, I'd thought that its grammatical, but dictionary.com claims that modulo is an adverb and not a verb, so it seems that the above usage is wrong.
What’s the standard and accepted usage of the word modulo?

Mathematics would say: "10 is congruent to 1 modulo 3". The modified usage "10 modulo 3" with "modulo" as an operation (like "10 plus 3") is from computer programming.
