NAME

       div - compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       div_t div(int numer, int denom);

DESCRIPTION

       The  div()  function  shall  compute  the quotient and remainder of the
       division of the numerator  numer  by  the  denominator  denom.  If  the
       division  is  inexact,  the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser
       magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the  result
       cannot  be  represented,  the  behavior  is undefined; otherwise, quot*
       denom+ rem shall equal numer.

RETURN VALUE

       The div() function shall return a structure of type  div_t,  comprising
       both  the  quotient  and  the  remainder.  The  structure  includes the
       following members, in any order:

              int  quot;  /* quotient */
              int  rem;   /* remainder */
