• x - The type of the argument shall be a real.

Return value

The return value is of the same type and kind as the argument. The fractional part of the model representation of x is returned; it is x * radix(x)**(-exponent(x)).

Example

program test_fraction
  real :: x
  x = 178.1387e-4
  print *, fraction(x), x * radix(x)**(-exponent(x))
end program test_fraction
