The Difference Between Division and Modulus Operators in Python

This explanation covers the difference between two essential mathematical operators: the division operator and the modulus operator, commonly used in programming.

Division Operator (/):
The division operator divides one number by another and returns the quotient. For example, dividing 10 by 2 (10 / 2) results in 5, as 10 can be evenly divided by 2.

Modulus Operator (%):
The modulus operator provides the remainder after division. For instance, 10 % 2 returns 0 because 10 is fully divisible by 2. However, 10 % 3 results in 1, as dividing 10 by 3 leaves a remainder of 1.

These operators are frequently used in programming when performing calculations or checking conditions involving divisibility.
