divmod returns a 2-tuple:

    >>> divmod(99.6,30.1)
    (3.0, 9.2999999999999901)

Therefore, you can subscript the return value to get either
element:

    >>> divmod(99.6,30.1)[0]
    3.0

Thus, you can call bool() on the subscripted value to convert
this to True-if-not-zero False-if-zero:

    >>> bool(divmod(99.6,30.1)[0])
    True
