To remove the division decimal in Python, we can use the arithmetic operator // or use the modf() method. Let follow the article below.
How to remove the division decimal in Python
Use arithmetic operator
Use the arithmetic operator ‘//’ to divide two numbers. The effect of the arithmetic operator ‘//’ is to round off, which means that the result is not decimal.
Example:
- Initialize 2 variables containing two integers.
- Use the arithmetic operator ‘//’ to divide two integers. Results are returned in rounded form (no decimals).
myNumber1 = 18
myNumber2 = 4
# Use the arithmetic operator ‘//’ to remove the division decimal
result = myNumber1 // myNumber2
print('Division result without decimals :', result)Output:
Division result without decimals : 4Use the int() method
The int() function can convert the division result to a non-decimal form.
Syntax:
int(value, base)
Parameters:
- value: number or string you want to convert to an integer.
- base: number representation number format.
The int() method returns:
- An integer is if the parameter is a number or a string.
- Returns 0 if there are no parameters.
Example:
- Initialize 2 variables containing two integers.
- Use the ‘/’ arithmetic operator to take the quotient of two numbers, then use the int() function to return the result without decimals.
myNumber1 = 18
myNumber2 = 4
resultDecimal = myNumber1 / myNumber2 # 4.5
# Use the int() to remove the division decimal
resultNumber = int(resultDecimal)
print('Division result:', resultDecimal)
print('Division result without decimals :', resultNumber)Output:
Division result: 4.5
Division result without decimals : 4Use the modf() method
You can use the modf() function to remove the decimal part. modf() function is available in module ‘math’.
Syntax:
math.modf(x)
Parameters:
- x: a value you want to convert.
The math.modf() function will return the decimal and integer part of x. Both the integer part and the decimal part are returned as the float.
Example:
import math
myNumber1 = 18
myNumber2 = 4
resultDecimal = myNumber1 / myNumber2 # 4.5
# Using math.modf() to remove the division decimal
resultNumber = math.modf(resultDecimal) # (0.5, 4.0)
print('Division result:', resultDecimal)
print('Decimal part:', resultNumber[0])
print('Integer part:', int(resultNumber[1]))Output:
Division result: 4.5
Decimal part: 0.5
Integer part: 4Use the round() method
The round() function in Python rounds a given number, returning it as a floating point number with the specified number of digits after the comma. The default number after the comma is 0, which means the function will return the nearest integer.
Syntax:
round(value, digits)
Parameters:
- value: the value you want to round.
- digits: number of digits after the decimal point. The default is 0.
Example:
import math
myNumber1 = 18
myNumber2 = 4
resultDecimal = myNumber1 / myNumber2 # 4.5
# Using round() to remove the division decimal
resultNumber = round(resultDecimal)
print('Division result:', resultDecimal)
print('Division result without decimals :', resultNumber)Output:
Division result: 4.5
Division result without decimals : 4Result of division: myNumber1 / myNumber2 = 4.5. round() function rounds to 4.
