I'm facing an issue. either I'm blind and can't see something abious or there is a type issue of my variables. I set this little code to illustrate what I am trying to fix

exp="khjkmqSDVB KNÙsdhgvd elgjvaolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?dbk,are bafbmao\
lfba barmknham:baDB?Z?N NBZRLHKMZRKHNZMB;ZGFKHZRPKolfba barmknham:baDB?\
Z?HTNPZKGJolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?ZPEROYAÉALZTIYUHNGKEG\
jkmqSDVB KNÙsdhgvd elgjvaolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?dbk,are bafbmao\
lfba barmknham:baDB?Z?N NBZRLHKMZRKHNZMB;ZGFKHZRPKolfba barmknham:baDB?\
Z?HTNPZKGJolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?ZPEROYAÉALZTIYUHNGKEG\
jkmqSDVB KNÙsdhgvd elgjvaolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?dbk,are bafbmao\
lfba barmknham:baDB?Z?N NBZRLHKMZRKHNZMB;ZGFKHZRPKolfba barmknham:baDB?\
Z?HTNPZKGJolfba barmknham:baDB?Z?ZPEROYAÉALZTIYUHNGKEG"
nb = len(exp)//40
t= mod(len(exp),40)
print("length of exp = " + str(len(exp)))
print("nb = " + str(nb))
print("t = " + str(t))
print("nb x 40 = " + str(nb*40))
print("t + (40 x nb)  = " +  str(t + nb*40))
print(nb, t, nb*t)

Everything go right until the last expression

print("t + (40 x nb)  = " +  str(t + nb*40))

This is what I am getting (restarted the kernel jut-in-case)

Out[1]:
length of exp = 566
nb = 14
t = 6
nb x 40 = 560
t + (40 x nb)  = 6
14 6 4

Thx for the one who'll see what's wrong.

to know more about the type of some variable v, in particular the ring in which it lives, use parent(v)

here t belongs to a finite ring, not to the integer ring

If you want an integer version, you could use t = len(exp) % 40.

thx this what I ended up doing. appreciated

After running your code :

sage: nb.parent()
Integer Ring
sage: t.parent()
Ring of integers modulo 40

Here's the rub ! Therefore :

sage: (t+nb*40).parent()
Ring of integers modulo 40

And, indeed :

sage: 566%40
6

But :

sage: (566%40).parent()
Integer Ring

and from mod? :

Docstring:     
   Return the equivalence class of n modulo m as an element of
   \ZZ/m\ZZ.

which explains your result...

What you wanted is probably :

sage: Integer(len(exp)).quo_rem(40)
(14, 6)

because :

sage: list(map(parent, Integer(len(exp)).quo_rem(40)))
[Integer Ring, Integer Ring]

HTH,
