Python divmod() Method - [With Example]

In this tutorial we will learn about the python divmod() method and how to use it.

What is Python divmod() Method?

The divmod() method takes two numbers and returns a pair of numbers inside a tuple consisting of their quotient and remainder.

The syntax of divmod() is:

divmod(x,y)

divmod() takes two parameters:

x – a non-complex number that can be referred to as a numerator.

y – a non-complex number that can be referred to as denominator

Let see an example of divmod() method.

print(‘divmod(1, 3) = ‘, divmod(1, 3))

print(‘divmod(5, 8) = ‘, divmod(5, 8))

print(‘divmod(4, 4) = ‘, divmod(4, 4))

# divmod() with Floats

print(‘divmod(4.0, 3) = ‘, divmod(4.0, 3))

print(‘divmod(7, 9.0) = ‘, divmod(7, 9.0))

print(‘divmod(2.6, 0.5) = ‘, divmod(2.6, 0.5))

The output will be as follows.

divmod(1, 3) = (0, 1)

divmod(5, 8) = (0, 5)

divmod(4, 4) = (1, 0)

divmod(4.0, 3) = (1.0, 1.0)

divmod(7, 9.0) = (0.0, 7.0)

divmod(2.6, 0.5) = (5.0, 0.10000000000000009)

(q, r) – a pair of numbers will be a tuple consisting of quotient q and a remainder r.

If x and y are integers, the return values from divmod() is same as (a //b , x % y).
