LibreOffice Calc operates on floating point numbers, and isn't as strong with
integer math, especially with MODULO (see bug 50299). I'd definitely look into
Sage or maybe Octave...

I believe that Calc is always operating on floating point numbers, regardless.
Does the use-case really lend itself to use in a spreadsheet environment?
