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.
I agree, but unfortunately signed integer division in D follows C's
convention.
