"the fractional part is..." ... obtained by using the modulus operator, % and doing floating point divide of the denominator. Or in decimal, by performing the division in floating point and using the frac() library function.

Brian The fractional part are the numbers at the right of the decimal point e.g 2.31 Fractional part = 31 Its the part gotten by subtracting the integer part of number by the number

The division of both integer will result in integer division.if you want the result in fraction Define the denominator as fraction value. Eg: 5/5=1 5/5.0=1 0

Shoug Souliman its answer depends upon the data type in which you are storing the fractional value. If you store in integer data type then it give always the integer value, and same will be in the case of float but in float case you will get the the integer value with append zero only(will not give the exact fractional Result).

Shoug Souliman, if you put the division result inside int or if you print it, the result will be rounded down to the nearest integer.

Eashan Morajkar , this is just a single case... It doesn't mean any division will result in 0. For example if you divide 5/3 it will result in 1, so as I said it will be rounded down.

Even if you change division to int data type, the output will be 0, which means the fractional part is also 0
