Python math.remainder() – Remainder of x/y

Python math.remainder()

math.remainder(x, y) function returns the IEEE 754-style remainder of the division x/y. The remainder is the difference between x and the closest integer multiple of y.

Syntax

The syntax to call remainder() function is

math.remainder(x, y)

where

Example

The remainder of the division 8/2.3 using math.remainder().

import math

x = 8
y = 2.3
result = math.remainder(x, y)
print('remainder() :', result)

Output

remainder() : 1.1000000000000005
