quotient for integers
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.
