Find the division remainder of a number

Question

How could I go about finding the division remainder of a number in Python   For example  If the number is 26 and divided number is 7  then the division remainder is 5   since 7 7 7 21 and 26-21 5

you are looking for the modulo operator   a   b   for example   26   7   Of course  maybe they wanted you to implement it yourself  which wouldn t be too difficult either

From Python 3 7  there is a new math remainder   function  from math import remainder print remainder 26 7    Output  -2 0    not 5  Note  as above  it s not the same as    Quoting the documentation   math remainder x  y  Return the IEEE 754-style remainder of x with respect to y  For finite x and finite nonzero y  this is the difference x - n y  where n is the closest integer to the exact value of the quotient x   y  If x   y is exactly halfway between two consecutive integers  the nearest even integer is used for n  The remainder r   remainder x  y  thus always satisfies abs r   lt   0 5   abs y   Special cases follow IEEE 754  in particular  remainder x  math inf  is x for any finite x  and remainder x  0  and remainder math inf  x  raise ValueError for any non-NaN x  If the result of the remainder operation is zero  that zero will have the same sign as x  On platforms using IEEE 754 binary floating-point  the result of this operation is always exactly representable  no rounding error is introduced   Issue29962 describes the rationale for creating the new function

The remainder of a division can be discovered using the operator      gt  gt  gt  26 7 5   In case you need both the quotient and the modulo  there s the builtin divmod function    gt  gt  gt  seconds  137  gt  gt  gt  minutes  seconds  divmod seconds  60

If you want to get quotient and remainder in one line of code  more general usecase   use   quotient  remainder   divmod dividend  divisor   or divmod 26  7

We can solve this by using modulus operator      26   7   5   but  26   7   3 because it will give quotient but   operator will give remainder

26   7  you will get remainder   26   7  you will get divisor can be float value    26    7  you will get divisor only integer value

If you want the remainder of your division problem  just use the actual remainder rules  just like in mathematics  Granted this won t give you a decimal output   valone   8 valtwo   3 x   valone   valtwo r   valone -  valtwo   x  print  Answer   s with a remainder of  s     x  r    If you want to make this in a calculator format  just substitute valone   8 with valone   int input  Value One     Do the same with valtwo   3  but different vairables obviously

Modulo would be the correct answer  but if you re doing it manually this should work   num   input  Enter a number     div   input  Enter a divisor      while num  gt   div      num -  div print num

You can find remainder using modulo operator Example a 14 b 10 print a b   It will print 4

User · Answer

Use the   instead of the   when you divide  This will return the remainder for you  So in your case  26   7   5

User · Answer

If you want to avoid modulo  you can also use a combination of the four basic operations     26 -  26    7   7    5

User · Answer

you can define a function and call it remainder with 2 values like rem number1 number2  that returns number1 number2 then create a while and set it to true then print out two inputs for your function holding number 1 and 2 then print rem number1 number2
