What is the function/calculation for...

The function is Mod.

400 Mod 360 = 40

apparently in MMF it doesn't work for negative numbers. This is also the case for many programming languages, although as someone above pointed out there is a well-defined result in mathematics:
-10 Mod 360 = 350 (*doesn't work in MMF)

To maintain the angle within the 0-360 boundaries, test with :
angle = angle - floor(angle/360)*360

Some examples :
-10 : -10 - (-1)*360 = 350
-500 : -500 - (-2)*360 = 220
1000 : 1000 - (2)*360 = 280

looks ok to me.

Edit : Joshtek says -4 won't be wrapped, however, Floor should return the nearest integer BELOW the given number, that is to say, floor(-4/360) should return -1.
