math.fmod(x, y)
Parameter Description:
- x-- Required, positive or negative number. The dividend. If x is not a number, TypeError is returned.
- y-- Required, positive or negative number. The divisor. If y is not a number, TypeError is returned.

Note:If x or y is not a number, TypeError is returned.
Return Value
A float value representing the remainder of x/y.
Example
The following example calculates the remainder:
Example
# Import the math package
import math
# Calculate the remainder
print(math.fmod(20, 4))
print(math.fmod(20, 3))
print(math.fmod(15, 6))
print(math.fmod(-10, 3))
# Error, ValueError: math domain error
print(math.fmod(0, 0))
import math
# Calculate the remainder
print(math.fmod(20, 4))
print(math.fmod(20, 3))
print(math.fmod(15, 6))
print(math.fmod(-10, 3))
# Error, ValueError: math domain error
print(math.fmod(0, 0))
Output result:
