# torch.fmod¶

torch.fmod(input, other, *, out=None)Tensor

Applies C++’s std::fmod for floating point tensors, and the modulus operation for integer tensors. The result has the same sign as the dividend input and its absolute value is less than that of other.

Supports broadcasting to a common shape, type promotion, and integer and float inputs.

Note

When the divisor is zero, returns NaN for floating point dtypes on both CPU and GPU; raises RuntimeError for integer division by zero on CPU; Integer division by zero on GPU may return any value.

Note

Complex inputs are not supported. In some cases, it is not mathematically possible to satisfy the definition of a modulo operation with complex numbers.

Parameters
• input (Tensor) – the dividend

• other (Tensor or Scalar) – the divisor

Keyword Arguments

out (Tensor, optional) – the output tensor.

Example:

>>> torch.fmod(torch.tensor([-3., -2, -1, 1, 2, 3]), 2)
tensor([-1., -0., -1.,  1.,  0.,  1.])
>>> torch.fmod(torch.tensor([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]), -1.5)
tensor([1.0000, 0.5000, 0.0000, 1.0000, 0.5000])


torch.remainder() which is similar to torch.fmod() except that if the sign of the modulus is different than the sign of the divisor other then the divisor is added to the modulus.
