REMAINDER dividend divisor

Outputs the remainder of dividing dividend by divisor. Both dividend and divisor must be numbers and divisor must not be 0.

Mathematically, a remainder is a number such that

Where quotient is an integer and -divisor < remainder < divisor. By this definition, two remainders may be possible for a given divisor and dividend, one positive and one negative. To make REMAINDER well-defined, it always outputs the remainder whose sign matches that of dividend. In contrast, MODULO uses the sign of divisor.
