Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
FractionalPart[x], in effect, takes all digits to the right of the decimal point and drops the others. Examples: FractionalPart[2.4]; FractionalPart[2.6]; FractionalPart[-2.4]; FractionalPart[-2.6].
FractionalPart[x] + IntegerPart[x] is always exactly x.
FractionalPart[x] yields a result when x is any numeric quantity, whether or not it is an explicit number. Example: FractionalPart[Pi^2]. For exact numeric quantities, FractionalPart internally uses numerical approximations to establish its result. See The Mathematica Book on the web: Section 3.2.2. See also: IntegerPart, Mod.
