Python divmod() Method with Examples

In the previous article, we have discussed Python int() Method with Examples
divmod() Method in Python:

When argument1 (dividend) is divided by argument2, the divmod() function returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).

Syntax:

divmod(dividend, divisor)

Parameter Values:

dividend: It is a number. The number by which you wish to divide

divisor: It is a number. The number you wish to divide by.

Return Value:

The divmod() Function returns

(q, r) – a pair of numbers (a tuple) made up of the quotient q and the remainder r.
If dividend and divisor are integers, the result of divmod() is (q// r, dividend %divisor ).
If either dividend or divisor is a float, the resulting expression is (q, dividend %divisor ). In this case, q represents the entire quotient.

Examples:

Example1:

Input:

Given first number(dividend)= 3
Given second number(divisor) = 5

Output:

A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (0, 3)

Example2:

Input:

Given first number(dividend) = 12.5
Given second number(divisor) = 3.5

Output:

A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (3.0, 2.0)

Method #1: Using Built-in Functions (Static Input)

Approach:

Give the first number as static input and store it in a variable.
Give the second number as static input and store it in another variable.
Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Give the first number as static input and store it in a variable.
gvn_numb1 = 3
# Give the second number as static input and store it in another variable.
gvn_numb2 = 5
# Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function
# that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
# Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder
# (divisor).
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)

Output:

A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (0, 3)

Similarly, Check it out for other numbers

gvn_numb1 = 12.5
gvn_numb2 = 3.5
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)

Output:

A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (3.0, 2.0)

Method #2: Using Built-in Functions (User Input)

Approach:

Give the first number as user input using the float(input()) function and store it in a variable.
Give the second number as user input using the float(input()) function and store it in another variable.
Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
The Exit of the Program.

Below is the implementation:

# Give the first number as user input using the float(input()) function 
# and store it in a variable.
gvn_numb1 = float(input("Enter some random number = "))
# Give the second number as user input using the float(input()) function 
# and store it in another variable.
gvn_numb2 = float(input("Enter some random number = "))
# Pass the given first and second numbers as arguments to the divmod() function
# that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder (divisor).
rslt = divmod(gvn_numb1, gvn_numb2)
# Print the above result i.e, a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder
# (divisor).
print("A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder =", rslt)

Output:

Enter some random number = 45.5
Enter some random number = 5
A Tuple containing the quotient and the remainder = (9.0, 0.5)
