In Python, you can calculate the quotient with Show
The built-in function
You can unpack and assign to each variable.
Of course, you can receive it as a tuple. View Discussion Improve Article Save Article View Discussion Improve Article Save Article Given two numbers n and m. The task is to find the quotient and remainder of two numbers by dividing n by m. Examples: Input: n = 10 m = 3 Output: Quotient: 3 Remainder 1 Input n = 99 m = 5 Output: Quotient: 19 Remainder 4 Method 1: Naive approach The naive approach is to find the quotient using the double division (//) operator and remainder using the modulus (%) operator. Example: Python3
Output: Quotient: 3 Remainder 1 Quotient: 19 Remainder 4 Time Complexity: O(1) Auxiliary Space: O(1) Method 2: Using divmod() method Divmod() method takes two numbers as parameters and returns the tuple containing both quotient and remainder. Example: Python3
Output: Quotient: 3 Remainder 1 Quotient: 19 Remainder 4 Time Complexity: O(1) Auxiliary Space: O(1) How could I go about finding the division remainder of a number in Python? For example:

1 you are looking for the modulo operator:
for example:
Of course, maybe they wanted you to implement it yourself, which wouldn't be too difficult either.

codewariocodewario 17.7k19 gold badges84 silver badges148 bronze badges 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. answered Feb 10, 2018 at 19:20
1 Modulo would be the correct answer, but if you're doing it manually this should work.

1 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.
If you want to make this in a calculator format, just substitute answered Oct 19, 2017 at 0:33
1 Here's an integer version of remainder in Python, which should give the same results as C's "%" operator:

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) answered Jun 25, 2020 at 11:52

In Python, you can calculate the quotient with // and the remainder with % . The built-in function divmod() is useful when you want both the quotient and remainder. divmod(a, b) returns a tuple (a // b, a % b) .
How do you get a remainder in Python?The % symbol in Python is called the Modulo Operator. It returns the remainder of dividing the left hand operand by right hand operand. It's used to get the remainder of a division problem. The modulo operator is considered an arithmetic operation, along with + , - , / , * , ** , // .
Which operator is used to find quotient in Python?To find the quotient, the '//' operator is used. To find the remainder, the '%' operator is used. The operations output is assigned to two variables respectively.
How do you find the quotient and remainder?The quotient is the number of times a division is completed fully, while the remainder is the amount left that doesn't entirely go into the divisor. For example, 127 divided by 3 is 42 R 1, so 42 is the quotient, and 1 is the remainder.
