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

Answer 1

If you want to avoid modulo, you can also use a combination of the four basic operations :)

26 - (26 // 7 * 7) = 5

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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)

Answer 4

You can find remainder using modulo operator Example

a=14
b=10
print(a%b)

It will print 4

Answer 5

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 >= div:
    num -= div
print num

Answer 6

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) )
