Why can i only use boolean with modulo?

I want to have an if-statement checking whether a number is even or odd by using the modulo operator.
The idea is to divide the value by 2 and see if the rest is 1 or 0.
For some reason, my IDE (IntelliJ) tells me I need to have a boolean instead of int but to me, it doesn´t make sense to divide the words true or false with a mathematic operator.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class IsThisNumberEven {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner InputNumber = new Scanner(System.in);
        int Value = InputNumber.nextInt();

        System.out.print("The number " + Value + "is ");

        if (Value % 2 = 1) {
            System.out.print("odd.");

        } else if (Value % 2 = 0) {
            System.out.print("even.");
        }
    }
}

How do I use the operator modulo on an integer in an if-statement without getting said that the types are incompatible and I need to use boolean.
