What is division operators in Python?

Consider the below statements in Python.

In Python, the division operator (/) is used to divide one number by another. It performs floating-point division, which means that the result of the division operation is always a floating-point number, even if the inputs are integers. For example: 

 

>>> 10 / 3
3.3333333333333335

If you want to perform integer division (where the result is truncated to an integer), you can use the double slash operator (//). For example: 

 

>>> 10 // 3
3

In addition to the standard division operator, Python also has a modulo operator (%), which returns the remainder of a division operation. For example: 

 

>>> 10 % 3
1

The modulo operator is often used to check if a number is divisible by another number. For example, to check if a number n is even, you can use the expression n % 2 == 0, which will be true if n is divisible by 2.

It's important to note that division by zero in Python (or any programming language) will result in a ZeroDivisionError. So, always make sure to check for zero before performing a division operation.
