Check if a Number is a Multiple of Another

Certification: Basic Level Accuracy: 74.6% Submissions: 126 Points: 5

Write a Python program that checks if a number is a multiple of another number.

Example 1
    
  
  • Input: number = 15, divisor = 5
    • 
  
  • Output: True
    • 
  
  • Explanation: 
    
      
      
    • Step 1: Check if number is divisible by divisor (15 % 5 == 0).
      • 
      
    • Step 2: Since the remainder is 0, 15 is divisible by 5.
      • 
      
    • Step 3: Return True.
      • 
    
    
  
    •
Example 2
    
  
  • Input: number = 17, divisor = 3
    • 
  
  • Output: False
    • 
  
  • Explanation: 
    
      
      
    • Step 1: Check if number is divisible by divisor (17 % 3 == 0).
      • 
      
    • Step 2: Since the remainder is 2, 17 is not divisible by 3.
      • 
      
    • Step 3: Return False.
      • 
    
    
  
    •
Constraints
    
  
  • -10^9 ≤ number ≤ 10^9
    • 
  
  • -10^9 ≤ divisor ≤ 10^9, divisor ≠ 0
    • 
  
  • Time Complexity: O(1)
    • 
  
  • Space Complexity: O(1)

Solution Hints

    
  
  • Use modulo operator: number % divisor == 0
    • 
  
  • Create a function: def is_multiple(num, div): return num % div == 0
    • 
  
  • Use lambda function: is_multiple = lambda num, div: num % div == 0
    • 
  
  • For zero edge case: if divisor == 0: raise ZeroDivisionError("Divisor cannot be zero")
    •

The following are the steps to check if a number is a multiple of another:

  •  Take two numbers as input.  

  •  Use the modulus operator `%` to check divisibility.  

  •  If `num1 % num2 == 0`, print "Multiple"; otherwise, print "Not a multiple."  

  •  Handle edge cases like `0`.
