divmod(): tuple containing their quotient and remainder

a=29
b=5
my_tuple=divmod(a,b)
print(my_tuple) # (5,4)

print(a//b) # 5
print(a%b)  # 4

Using float

a=53.67
b=7.2
print(divmod(a,b))

(7.0, 3.2700000000000005)

a=54.6
b=4
print(divmod(a,b))
print(type(divmod(a,b)))

(13.0, 2.6000000000000014)

a=29
b=5
my_tuple=divmod(a,b)
print(my_tuple) # (5,4)
print(type(my_tuple[1])) # <class 'int'>

Example 2: Using divmod() with Negative Numbers

print(divmod(-20, 3))  # Output: (-7, 1)

Example 3: Applying divmod() in a Loop

for i in range(1, 6):
    q, r = divmod(20, i)
    print(f"Dividing 20 by {i}: Quotient = {q}, Remainder = {r}")

Dividing 20 by 1: Quotient = 20, Remainder = 0
Dividing 20 by 2: Quotient = 10, Remainder = 0
Dividing 20 by 3: Quotient = 6, Remainder = 2
Dividing 20 by 4: Quotient = 5, Remainder = 0
Dividing 20 by 5: Quotient = 4, Remainder = 0

Applications of divmod()

• Time Calculations: Easily break down minutes into hours and minutes.
• Data Processing: Quickly get both quotient and remainder in single operations.
• Financial Calculations: Determine exact whole parts and remaining parts in inventory or budgeting.
