Content:
The \emph{fractional part} of a nonnegative real number is the part of the number that appears after the decimal \PMlinkescapetext{point}. For example, the fractional part of $\displaystyle \frac{7}{3}$ is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$.
To be more precise, for $x \in \mathbb{R}$ with $x \ge 0$, the fractional part of $x$, denoted as $\{x\}$, is given by $\{x\}=x-[x]$, where $[x]$ denotes the integer part of $x$. |
