# fmod

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

fmod — Returns the floating point remainder (modulo) of the division of the arguments

### Description

float fmod ( float `$x` , float `$y` )

Returns the floating point remainder of dividing the dividend (`x` ) by the divisor (`y` ). The reminder (r) is defined as: x = i * y + r, for some integer i. If `y` is non-zero, r has the same sign as `x` and a magnitude less than the magnitude of `y` .

### Parameters

`x`

  The dividend

`y`

  The divisor

### Return Values

The floating point remainder of `x` /`y`

### Examples

Example #1 Using fmod()

`<?php
$x = 5.7;
$y = 1.3;
$r = fmod($x, $y);
// $r equals 0.5, because 4 * 1.3 + 0.5 = 5.7
?>`
