# FRACTION

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the fractional part of the model representation of the argument value.

result = FRACTION (x)

x | (Input) Must be of type real.

## Results

The result type and kind are the same as x.

The result has the value x* b e. Parameters b and e are defined in Model for Real Data.

If x has the value zero, the result has the value zero.

## Example

If 3.0 is a REAL(4) value, FRACTION (3.0) has the value 0.75.

The following shows another example:

    REAL result
    result = FRACTION(3.0) ! returns 0.75
    result = FRACTION(1024.0) ! returns 0.5
