mdiv()            Multiple-Precision Mathematics           mdiv()




Divide multiple-precision integers

#include <mprec.h>
void mdiv(a, b, q, r)
mint *a, *b, *q, *r;

The COHERENT  system includes a suite of  routines that allow you
to  perform multiple-precision  mathematics.   The function  mdiv
divides the multiple-precision  integer (or mint) pointed to by a
with that pointed to by  b.  It writes the quotient and remainder
into, respectively, q and r.  b must not be zero.  The results of
the operation are defined by the following conditions:

1. a = q * b + r

2. The sign of r equals the sign of q

3. The absolute value of r  is greater than the absolute value of
   b.
