Find the position of number that is multiple of certain number

0 0 1 minute read

In this type of question, a number is given and we have to find the position or index of all multiples of that number. For doing this question we use a function named numpy.argwhere().

Syntax:

numpy.argwhere(array)

Example 1:

Sometimes we need to find the indexes of the element that are divisible by int or float number.

Python3

# Importing Pandas and Numpy libraries 
import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np 
  
# Creating a Series of random numbers 
n_series = pd.Series(np.random.randint(1, 25, 15)) 
print("Original Series:\n") 
print(n_series) 
  
# Finding the indexes of numbers divisible by 3 
res_index = np.argwhere(n_series % 3==0) 
print("Positions of numbers that are multiples of 3:\n") 
print(res_index)

Output:

In the above example, we find the indexes of all numbers divisible by 3.

Example 2:

Python3

# Importing Pandas and Numpy libraries 
import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np 
  
# Creating a Series of random numbers 
n_series = pd.Series(np.random.randint(1, 20, 10)) 
print("Original Series:\n") 
print(n_series) 
  
# Finding the indexes of numbers divisible by 3.5 
res_index = np.argwhere(n_series % 3.5==0) 
print("Positions of numbers that are multiples of 3.5:\n") 
print(res_index)
