Handle More Challenging Math in Python

Python provides several additional math operations.

# Default division print(18 / 4) # Floor division print(18 // 4) # Remainder of the division print(18 % 4) # Raising to the power of 4 print(18 ** 4)

Why Are These Operations Helpful?

Imagine you have $50 and want to buy as many cookie packs as possible, with each pack costing $6. To determine how many packs you can buy and how much money will remain, you can use these operations:

  • 50 // 6 gives 8, meaning you can buy 8 packs.
  • 50 % 6 results in 2, meaning you’ll have $2 left after the purchase.
Task

Swipe to start coding

  1. On the second line, compute the floor division of 234 by 32.
  2. On the fifth line, determine the remainder when 356 is divided by 17.
