Python divmod() function - Tutorial And Example

Python divmod() function

The divmod() function in Python returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder when parameter ‘a’ (divident) is divided by parameter ‘b’ (divisor).

Syntax:


divmod(a, b)

divmod(a, b)

Parameter

a: This parameter represents a number you want to divide i.e., the dividend.

b: This parameter represents a number that you want to divide with i.e., the divisor.

Return

This function returns a pair of numbers consisting of their quotient and remainder.

Example 1


# Python Program explaining
# divmod() function
x = divmod(52, 2)
print('divmod() function will return: ',x)

# Python Program explaining

# divmod() function

x = divmod(52, 2)

print('divmod() function will return: ',x)

Output


divmod() function will return:  (26, 0)

divmod() function will return: (26, 0)

Example 2


# Python Program explaining
# divmod() function
print('(15, 14) = ', divmod(5, 4))
print('(140, 16) = ', divmod(10, 16))
# divmod() with int and Floats
print('(62.0, 45) = ', divmod(8.0, 3))
print('(33, 29.0) = ', divmod(3, 8.0))

# Python Program explaining

# divmod() function

print('(15, 14) = ', divmod(5, 4))

print('(140, 16) = ', divmod(10, 16))

# divmod() with int and Floats

print('(62.0, 45) = ', divmod(8.0, 3))

print('(33, 29.0) = ', divmod(3, 8.0))

Output


(15, 14) =  (1, 1)
(140, 16) =  (0, 10)
(62.0, 45) =  (2.0, 2.0)
(33, 29.0) =  (0.0, 3.0)

(15, 14) = (1, 1)

(140, 16) = (0, 10)

(62.0, 45) = (2.0, 2.0)

(33, 29.0) = (0.0, 3.0)
