Answer to Question #244692 in Python for Isabel Cortez

Question

4. Leftovers

by CodeChum Admin

We Filipinos are quite known for the habit of leaving at least one of the many pieces of food on the plate as it can't be equally divided among all at most times. Just like when 3 people decide to eat a pizza of 10 slices, there will often be at least one slice left on the box. To accurately show just how many pieces of things are left when divided by a certain number, we code it using modulo.

Care to do it for me?

Input

A line containing two integers separated by a space.

10 3

Output

A single line containing an integer.

1

Answer 1

# taking multiple inputs at a time(the number of pieces and number of people to devide
#from the user and type casting using list() function
x = list(map(int, input("Enter the number of pieces and the number of people separated by space:\n\t ").split()))

#Now calculate what will be left
remainder = x[0]%x[1]

#Print the number of pieces that will remain
print("number of pieces to remain are :")
print("\t"+str(remainder))
