Div, Mod
Syntax
Div(N:INT,D:INT):INT
Mod(N:INT,D:INT):INT
Summary
quotient and remainder for integers
Description
If N = Q*D + R, and 0 <= R < |D|, then Div(N,D) returns Q and
Mod(N,D) returns R.

NOTE: To perform the division algorithm on a polynomial or vector, use
'NR' (normal remainder) to find the remainder, or 'DivAlg' to get both
the quotients and the remainder.  To determine if a polynomial is in a
given ideal or a vector is in a given module, use 'NF' or 'IsIn', and
to find a representation in terms of the generators use 'GenRepr'.

Example
