Most reasonable is
numerator = quotient * divisor + remainder
Which means it can be negative.
Depends on the definition.
If division truncates towards negative infinity, the remainder
will always be nonegative (in case of a positive divisor).
I personally find rounding towards negative infinity the most
practical; every time I used modulo, I wanted the result to be in
the range [0, divisor). Python does it this way and I find it
very convenient.
