# Division and remainder

This challenge, while probably trivial in most "standard" languages, is addressed to those languages which are so esoteric, low-level, and/or difficult to use that are very rarely seen on this site. It should provide an interesting problem to solve, so this is your occasion to try that weird language you've read about!

Take two natural numbers a and b as input, and output two other numbers: the result of the integer division a/b, and the remainder of such division (a%b).

This is : shortest answer (in bytes), for each language, wins!

### Input/Output

• 0<=a<=255, 1<=b<=255. Each of your inputs (and outputs too) will fit in a single byte.
• You may choose any format you like for both input and output, as long as the two numbers are clearly distinguishable (e.g. no printing the two results together without a delimiter)

### Examples

a,b->division,remainder
5,7->0,5
5,1->5,0
18,4->4,2
255,25->10,5


Note: Builtins that return both the result of the division and the remainder are forbidden. At least show us how your language deals with applying two functions to the same arguments.

Note 2: As always, an explanation of how your code works is very welcome, even if it looks readable to you it may not be so for someone else!

## The Catalogue

The Stack Snippet at the bottom of this post generates the catalogue from the answers a) as a list of shortest solution per language and b) as an overall leaderboard.

## Language Name, N bytes


where N is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:

## Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes


If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:

## Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes


You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the snippet:

## [><>](https://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

# BitCycle, 14679 64 bytes

The program takes input in unary from the command line, with the divisor first. It outputs the quotient and remainder in unary, separated by a 0. For example, here's a=11, b=4, a/b=2, a%b=3:

C:\>python bitcycle.py divmod.btc 1111 11111111111
110111


### Ungolfed, in action

Here's my ungolfed version computing a=3, b=5 with animation turned on (sorry about the glitchiness):

### Attempt at an explanation

The explanation applies to the ungolfed version. Before you tackle it, I highly recommend you read the Esolangs page to get a feel for how the language works.

The algorithm goes like this:

• Run an outer loop until the program is terminated.
• Run an inner loop over the bits of the divisor, pairing them off with bits from the dividend.
• If all bits of the divisor have matching dividend bits, output a single bit.
• If not all bits of the divisor have matching dividend bits, output the separator 0 followed by what dividend bits there were, then terminate.

The heart of the code is the relationships among the collectors (the uppercase letters). Since there are multiple separate collectors with each letter, let's refer to them as A1, A2, B1, B2, etc., numbering from top to bottom.

• A1 and A2 hold the divisor and dividend, respectively, at the beginning of the main loop.
• The inner loop peels off one bit at a time from the divisor and the dividend.
• The rest of the divisor, if any, always goes into B1.
• If both the divisor and dividend were nonempty, one bit goes into C1 and one into C3. The rest of the dividend goes into B2.
• If only the divisor was nonempty, we've reached the end of the dividend, and it's time to print the remainder. The bit from the divisor goes into C2.
• If only the dividend was nonempty, we've reached the end of the divisor; it's time to process the bits in C3 or C2 for output. The rest of the dividend goes into C4.
• If there are any bits in the B collectors, they cycle their contents back around to the A collectors and continue in the inner loop.
• Once the A and B collectors are all empty, the C collectors open and we proceed to the processing stage:
• C1 and C4 dump their contents (the divisor and the remaining dividend, respectively) into D1 and D3.
• If C2 is empty, we're still printing the quotient.
• The contents of C3 go up to the top right = switch. The first 1 bit passes straight through to ! and is output.
• When the 1 bit passes through, it activates the switch to point rightward, which sends all the subsequent bits off the board.
• If C2 is not empty, we're printing the remainder.
• The first bit of C2 is negated to a 0 and passed through the switch. The 0 goes on to ! and is output.
• When the 0 bit passes through, it activates the switch to point leftward. Now all the bits from C3 go leftward from the switch and are redirected around into the !, outputting the entire remainder.
• A copy of the first bit from C2 is also sent into D2.
• Now the D collectors open.
• If there is anything in D2, that means we just printed the remainder. The bit from D2 hits the @, which terminates the program.
• Otherwise, the contents of D1 and D3 loop back into A1 and A2 respectively, and the main loop starts over.
• that is awesome – Evan Carslake Mar 30 '17 at 17:33
• "The program takes input in unary from the command line": That looks like binary to me? – 2xsaiko Mar 30 '17 at 18:36
• Whoops. Because the output looked like binary, I though the input should be too. Then I read the text. Nevermind. :P – 2xsaiko Mar 31 '17 at 15:37

# brainfuck, 43 41 bytes

,<,[>->+<[>]>>>>+<<<[<+>-]<<[<]>-]>>.>>>.


This uses a modified version of my destructive modulus algorithm on Esolangs.

The program reads two bytes – d and n, in that order – from STDIN and prints two bytes – n%d and n/d, in that order – to STDOUT. It requires a brainfuck interpreter with a doubly infinite or circular tape, such as the one on TIO.

Try it online!

### How it works

Before the program starts, all cells hold the value 0. After reading d from STDIN (,), moving one step left (<) and reading n from STDIN (,), the tape looks as follows.

       v
A      B      C      D      E      F      G      H      J
0      n      d      0      0      0      0      0      0


Next, assuming that n > 0, we enter the while loop

[>->+<[>]>>>>+<<<[<+>-]<<[<]>-]


which transforms the tape as follows.

First, >->+< advances to cell C and decrements it, then advances to cell D and increments it, and finally goes back to cell C. What happens next depends on whether the value of cell C is zero or not.

• If cell C hold a positive value, [>] (go right while the cell is non-zero) will advance to cell E.

>>>>+<<< advances to cell J to increment it, then goes back to cell F.

Since cell F will always hold 0, the while loop [<+>-] is skipped entirely, and << goes back to cell D.

Finally, since neither D nor C hold 0, [<] (go left while the cell is non-zero) will retrocede to cell A.

• If cell C holds 0, the loop [>] is skipped entirely; >>>>+<<< advances to cell G to increment it, then goes back to cell D.

At this point, D will hold d (in fact, the sum of the values in C and D will always be d), so [<+>-] (while D is positive, increment C and decrement D) will set C to d and D to 0.

Finally, << retrocedes to cell B, [<] (go left while the cell is non-zero) further left to cell A.

In both cases, >- advances to cell B and decrements it, and the loop starts over unless this zeroes it out.

After k iterations, the tape looks as follows.

       v
A      B      C      D      E      F      G      H      J
0      n-k    d-k%d  k%d    0      0      k/d    0      k-k/d


After n iterations B is zeroed out and we break out of the loop. The desired values (n%d and n/d) will be stored in cells D and G, so >>.>>>. prints them.

## Funciton, 224 108 bytes

Byte count assumes UTF-16 encoding with BOM.

 ┌──┬───┐
┌┴╖╓┴╖ ┌┴╖
│%╟║f╟┐│÷╟┘
╘╤╝╙─╜│╘╤╝
└────┴─┘


Try it online!

The above defines a function f, which takes two integers and returns both their division and their product (functions in Funciton can have multiple outputs as long as the sum of inputs and outputs doesn't exceed 4).

Using two input values for multiple purposes is actually quite trivial: you simply split off the connector with a T-junction at the value will be duplicated along both branches, which we can then feed separately to the built-ins for division and modulo.

It actually took me twice as long to figure out how to display the result to the user than just to implement the solution.

Also, Funciton has a built-in divmod, ÷%, and amusingly the built-ins ÷ and % that my solution uses are implemented in terms of ÷%. However, my function f above isn't quite identical to ÷%: I had to swap the order of the inputs and although it seems like it should be easy to change that, so far I haven't been able to do so without increasing the byte count.

# MATL, 12 10 bytes

Qt:ie=&fhq


Input is a, then b. Output is remainder, then quotient.

Try it online!

### Explanation

This avoids both modulo and division. Instead it uses array reshaping:

1. Build an array of a+1 nonzero elements.
2. Reshape as a 2D array of b rows. This automatically pads with zeros if needed.
3. The row and column indices of the last nonzero entry, minus 1, are respectively the remainder and quotient.

Consider for example a=7, b=3.

Q    % Input a implicitly. Push a+1
% STACK: 8
t:   % Duplicate. Range from 1 to that
% STACK: 8, [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
ie   % Input b. Reshape as a matrix with b rows (in column major order)
% STACK: 8, [1 4 7;
2 5 8]
3 6 0]
=    % Compare for equality
% STACK: [0 0 0;
0 0 1;
0 0 0]
&f   % Row and column indices (1-based) of nonzero element
% STACK: 2, 3
hq   % Concatenate. Subtract 1. Implicitly display
% STACK: [1 2]

• This is a fine example of lateral thinking, nice work! – Leo Mar 27 '17 at 14:34

## Mathematica, 20 18 bytes

⌊#/#2⌋@Mod@##&


Minor abuse of the flexible output rules: the result is given as div[mod], which will remain unevaluated. The individual numbers can be extracted with result[[0]] and result[[1]].

And hey, it's only one byte longer than the ridiculously named built-in QuotientRemainder.

Mathematica, actually has a neat way to apply multiple functions to the same input, but it's three bytes longer:

• You know it's bad when you language creates built-ins that simply combines built-ins… – Fatalize Mar 27 '17 at 13:08
• @Fatalize Is it? I find divmod built-ins quite useful, and Mathematica is by far not the only language to have one. – Martin Ender Mar 27 '17 at 13:11
• @Fatalize, a lot of the same work is required to compute quotients as is required to compute remainders. If both results are to be used, a properly-engineered quotRem builtin can save significant time over calling quot and rem separately. – Julian Wolf Mar 27 '17 at 14:26

• @Emigna I dunno if it's valid though. Wait, how did that work? – Erik the Outgolfer Mar 27 '17 at 13:26
• I don't see why it wouldn't be valid. It works because implicit inputs are pushed to the stack in the reverse order of what you'd assume in cases like this. – Emigna Mar 27 '17 at 13:27
• I take You may choose any format you like for both input and output, as long as the two numbers are clearly distinguishable to mean that you can decide that the inputs are taken as divisor, dividend. You could just specify "Input are taken as divisor, dividend" in the answer and they'll be clearly distinguishable :) – Emigna Mar 27 '17 at 13:34

## Jellyfish, 14 bytes

p
m
,|S
% i
Ei


Try it online!

### Explanation

Jellyfish is a beautiful language when it comes to applying multiple functions to the same input. The language is 2D and all binary functions look south for one input and east for another. So by approaching one value from the west and from the north, we can feed it to two functions without having to duplicate it in the code.

The two is in the program are replaced with the two input values when the program starts. Now % is division. It takes one input directly from the east, and when going south it hits the E which redirects that search east as well. So both inputs get fed to % as arguments.

| is the built-in for modulo, which basically does the same thing, but ends up looking south for both in puts.

We concatenate both results into a pair with ,. Then m is the floor function (which we need because % is floating-point division) and finally we print the result with p.

# Brain-Flak, 56 54 bytes

({}<>)<>([()]{()<(({})){({}[()])<>}{}>}<><([{}()]{})>)


Try it online!

-2 bytes thanks to Wheat Wizard

## Explanation

The current best known integer division and modulo in Brain-Flak are very similar (in fact the currently used integer division is just a modification I made on feersum's modulo).

Comparison of modulo and integer division:
Modulo:   ({}(<>))<>     {   (({})){({}[()])<>}{} }{}<> ([{}()]{})
Division: ({}(<>))<>([()]{()<(({})){({}[()])<>}{}>}{}<><  {}   {} >)


Conveniently, the integer division program uses only the third stack for storing data while the modulo program uses only the normal two stacks for storing data. Thus by simply running them both at the same time they do not collide at each other.

Combination of modulo and integer division:
Modulo:   ({}(<>))<>     {   (({})){({}[()])<>}{} }{}<> ([{}()]{})
Division: ({}(<>))<>([()]{()<(({})){({}[()])<>}{}>}{}<><  {}   {} >)

Combined: ({}(<>))<>([()]{()<(({})){({}[()])<>}{}>}{}<><([{}()]{})>)


Finally, both the integer division and modulo programs used in this combination were designed to be stack clean (not leave garbage on the stacks/not depend on the (non)existence of values on the stacks other than their input) but that is not necessary for this problem. Thus we can save two bytes by not bothering to pop the zero at the end of the main loop and another two bytes by not pushing zero at the start, instead relying on the zero padding on the bottom of the stacks.

This gives us the final program:
({}<>)<>([()]{()<(({})){({}[()])<>}{}>}<><([{}()]{})>)


For the explanation for the integer division program see feersum's answer

# OIL, 134106103 102 bytes

Takes the input from stdin, the two numbers seperated by a newline. Outputs the result of the integer division, then a newline, and then the remainder.

This is one of the most complicated OIL programs I've ever written, as OIL lacks builtins for division, remainder, addition, substraction, and so on. It works with the primitive way of doing division: repeated nested decrementation.

I present the code in an annotated format, with comments in the style of scripting languages. Before executing, the comments have to be removed.

That's exactly the kind of answer I hoped this challenge would receive :) Just a note: you are guaranteed that the divisor will always be strictly positive, so you don't need to check for a division by 0 ;) – Leo Mar 27 '17 at 14:12 • @Leo I'm guaranteed that the divisor will always be strictly positive at the beginning. It won't work if I take the division by zero part out, this case can happen even when the "actual" division is a normal one. If I remember correctly this occurs when the remainder is zero. – L3viathan Mar 27 '17 at 14:38 • I'm talking about the check on line 4, not the one on line 12...

Takes input as b\na, in unary, using for unary digit any single non-digit, non-newline character. Outputs the quotient in decimal, immediately followed by the remainder in unary, using the same character as the input.

Try it online!

(.*) ¶(\1)* matches the first number , then a newline (¶ is Retina's shorthand for \n), then the first number again as many times as possible. The number of matches of the second group will be the result of the division, and the part not matched will be the remainder.

With $#2, we replace everything that was matched in the previous line with the number of captures of the second group, and get then our result. • Haha, quite right, I clearly shouldn't be writing programs that late in the evening. – FryAmTheEggman Mar 30 '17 at 18:37 # Excel 2013, 31 30 26 bytes =INT(A1/B1)&","&MOD(A1;B1)  # Explanation Input is in cell A1 and B1.

Takes its arguments in unary, as two strings of x characters whose lengths represent the numbers. The divisor comes first, followed by a , delimiter, followed by the dividend. The quotient and remainder are returned in the capture groups \4 and \3, respectively.

I developed the basic form of this on 2014-04-03 while working on my abundant numbers regex. It had been a month earlier that teukon and I had independently come up with the multiplication algorithm described here, but up until this point we hadn't written or golfed any regex to find the unknown quotient of a known dividend and divisor. And it wasn't until dividing by $$\\sqrt 2\$$ that I adapted it to handle a dividend of zero correctly.

It is used, in its various forms (shown above or below), by these other regexes:

Commented and indented:

(x(x*)),          # \1 = divisor; \2 = \1-1; tail = dividend
(x*?)(?=\1*$) # \3 = remainder of division; tail -= \3 (x?(x*)) # \4 = conjectured quotient - find the largest one that matches the # following assertions; \5 = \4-1, or 0 if \4==0; tail -= \4 (?=\4*$)          # assert tail is divisible by quotient
(
(?=\2+$) # assert tail is positive and divisible by divisor-1 \2\5*$        # assert tail-(divisor-1) is divisible by quotient-1
|
\4 # if dividend == 0, assert that quotient == dividend )  To show what's going on, here is a Python function that does division using the regex's algorithm: def modulo_is_zero(n, modulus): return n==0 if modulus==0 else n>=0 and n % modulus == 0 def divide(dividend, divisor): if divisor==0: return remainder = dividend % divisor dividend -= remainder quotient = dividend if dividend != 0: while 1: if modulo_is_zero(dividend - quotient, quotient) and \ modulo_is_zero(dividend - quotient, divisor-1) and \ modulo_is_zero(dividend - quotient - (divisor-1), quotient-1): break quotient -= 1 if quotient == 0: return return [quotient, remainder]  Try it online! Notice that in regex, $$\0 \equiv 0 \pmod 0\$$. This is very convenient, as it allows a quotient of $$\1\$$ to be returned with no special case. The only special case we actually need to handle is when the dividend is zero. First, to demonstrate that the correct answer satisfies the assertions used – assume the remainder has already been subtracted away, and we are dividing $$\B=C/A\$$: \\begin{aligned} C &= AB \\ C-B &= (A-1)B \\ C-B-(A-1) &= (A-1)(B-1) \end{aligned}\ Thus, \\begin{aligned} C &\equiv 0 \pmod A \\ C &\equiv 0 \pmod B \\ C-B &\equiv 0 \pmod {A-1} \\ C-B-(A-1) &\equiv 0 \pmod {B-1} \end{aligned}\ The last two can be simplified to: \\begin{aligned} C &\equiv B \pmod {A-1} \\ C &\equiv A \pmod {B-1} \end{aligned}\ At this point it becomes apparent why neither of these two alone would be enough. If $$\A, it looks like the first one could yield false positives, and if $$\B, it looks like the second one could. It turns out that only one of them is needed if we're guaranteed the input meets certain constraints, but until recently I simply accepted this intuitively and from testing the algorithm up to large numbers. Unlike the multiplication algorithm, this division algorithm can't simply be proved correct from the Chinese remainder theorem, because $$\C\$$ is now constant while $$\B\$$, which defines one of the moduli, is the unknown. But thanks to H.PWiz, we finally have a rigorous proof for why the generalized form of division always works, and rigorously defined thresholds for when the division works in its two shortened forms. Now let's look at ways to shorten the regex. First, if we assume $$\C\ge A\$$, it becomes 50 bytes: (x(x*)),(x*?)(?=\1*)(x(x*))(?=\4*$)(?=\2+$)\2\5*$ Try it online! - ECMAScript Try it online! - Python Try it online! - Python equivalent If we know that all divisors will be in the required range, the division regex can be shortened further. With $$\C \equiv A \pmod {B-1}\$$ and $$\C \equiv 0 \pmod B\$$, we need to find the largest matching quotient. With $$\C \equiv B \pmod {A-1}\$$, we need to find the smallest matching quotient. Coming in at 42 bytes, here is the case of using only $$\C \equiv A \pmod {B-1}\$$ and $$\C \equiv 0 \pmod B\$$: (x(x*)),(x*?)(?=\1*$)(x(x*))(?=\4*$)\2\5*$

This can be shortened further, thanks to a trick found by Grimmy (and used in this post). I've used it to shorten factorial, Proth, $$\np_n\$$, and consecutive-prime/constant-exponent regexes. As a standalone division regex, it comes in at 39 bytes:

(x*)          # \4 = \3-1; tail -= \4
(?=\1\4*$) # assert tail-(quotient-1)-divisor is divisible by quotient-1 x # tail -= 1 ) \3*$              # assert both tail and dividend are divisible by quotient


The above algorithm is guaranteed to return the correct quotient if at least one of the following constraints is met (along with $$\C \equiv 0 \pmod A\$$):

• $$\A^2+2A < 4C\$$  or equivalently  $$\A+2 < 4B\$$
• $$\A=C\$$  or equivalently  $$\B=1\$$
• This works because the regex subtracts $$\C-(B-1)-A\$$ in order to assert that it is $$\\equiv 0 \pmod {B-1}\$$, and that subtraction will always result in a non-match (as it can't have a negative result) if $$\A=C\$$, unless $$\B=1\$$.
• $$\A\$$ is a prime power
• One of the cases in which this must be true, is when $$\C\$$ is semi-prime and neither of the two other conditions are met. It also must be true if $$\C\$$ is a prime power.

The proof of the first constraint follows:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv 0 \pmod B \\ C &\equiv A \pmod {B-1} \end{aligned}\

Suppose the algorithm finds a $$\B'\$$ satisfying these moduli, with $$\C=A'B'\$$. Since the search for $$\B\$$ is done from largest to smallest, the only way for it to first find a $$\B'\ne B\$$ is with $$\B. Then:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv 0 \pmod {B'} \\ C &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ A'B' &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ B' &\equiv 1 \pmod {B'-1} \end{aligned}\

So, with modular multiplication of $$\A'B'\$$,

\\begin{aligned} A' &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ A &> A' \\ A &\ge A'+B'-1 \end{aligned}\

Due to the AM-GM inequality, we have:

\\begin{aligned} A'+B' &\ge 2\sqrt C \\ A'+B'-1 &\ge 2\sqrt C-1 \\ A &\ge 2\sqrt C-1 \\ {(A+1)}^2 &\ge {(2\sqrt C)}^2 \\ A^2+2A+1 &\ge 4C \end{aligned}\

So for a $$\B'\$$ to be found, $$\A^2+2A+1 \ge 4C\$$ must be true. Therefore, if $$\A^2+2A+1 < 4C\$$, no such $$\B'\$$ will be found. But $$\A^2+2A+1 = 4AB\$$ has no solutions:

\\begin{aligned} A^2+2A+1 &\stackrel?= 4AB \\ A &> 0 \\ A+2+{1\over A} &\ne 4B \end{aligned}\

So we can simplify the inequality that guarantees no $$\B'\$$ will be found:

\\begin{aligned} A^2+2A+1 &\le 4C \\ A^2+2A &< 4C \end{aligned}\

And now the proof of the prime power constraint. Suppose that $$\A\$$ is a prime power and the algorithm has found a $$\B'\$$:

\\begin{aligned} A&=p^n \\ A'B'&=C\\ B'&>B \\ A'&0 \end{aligned}\

So $$\B'\$$ must have gained the prime power factor that $$\A'\$$ lost:

\\begin{aligned} B' &= xp^k\\ B' &\equiv 0 \pmod p \\ A &\equiv 0 \pmod p \end{aligned}\

So $$\A\$$ and $$\B'-1\$$ are coprime, and we can do modular division by $$\A\$$, since it is not $$\\equiv 0 \pmod {B'-1}\$$:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ AB &= A\pmod {B'-1} \\ A &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ B &\equiv 1 \pmod {B'-1} \\ B &< B' \\ B &\le B'-1 \\ B &= 1 \end{aligned}\

So for a $$\B'\$$ to be found when $$\A=p^n\$$, it must be the case that $$\B=1\$$, meaning $$\A=C\$$. But we already know that the algorithm works properly when $$\A=C\$$.

Coming in at 38 30 bytes, here is the case of using only $$\C \equiv B \pmod {A-1}\$$:

(x(x*)),(x*?)(?=\1*$)(x+?)\2+$

The above algorithm is guaranteed to return the correct quotient if at least one of the following constraints is met:

• $$\A^2 > C \ge A\$$  or equivalently  $$\A > B \ge 1\$$
• $$\A=1\$$  or equivalently  $$\B=C\$$

The proof of the first constraint follows:

$$\C \equiv B \pmod {A-1}\$$

Suppose the algorithm finds a $$\B'\$$ satisfying this modulus. Since the search for $$\B\$$ is done from smallest to largest, the only way for it to first find a $$\B'\ne B\$$ is with $$\B>B'>0\$$. Then:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ AB &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ A &\equiv 1 \pmod {A-1} \end{aligned}\

So, by modular division of $$\AB/A\$$,

\\begin{aligned} B &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ B &> B' \\ B &\ge B' + A-1 \\ B-(A-1) &\ge B' > 0 \\ B-(A-1) &> 0 \\ B &> A-1 \\ B &\ge A \end{aligned}\

So for a $$\B'\$$ to be found, $$\B \ge A\$$ must be true. Therefore, if $$\B < A\$$, no such $$\B'\$$ will be found.

This regex was actually discovered just for the sake of this post, and has never yet been used in a larger regex. And it was actually the math that proved it could be shortened from 38 to just 30 bytes; I hadn't even tried shortening it that much beforehand. So the next thing to do will be to look for places it can be used!

So now let's prove that the generalized form of division works for all inputs. We have:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv 0 \pmod {B} \\ C &\equiv B \pmod {A-1} \\ C &\equiv A \pmod {B-1} \end{aligned}\

Suppose the algorithm finds a $$\B'\$$ satisfying these moduli, with $$\C=A'B'\$$. Since the search for $$\B\$$ is done from largest to smallest, the only way for it to first find a $$\B'\ne B\$$ is with $$\0. So now, doing the same steps we did for the two shortened forms of division:

\\begin{aligned} C &\equiv 0 \pmod {B'} \\ C &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ A'B' &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ B' &\equiv 1 \pmod {B'-1} \\ A' &\equiv A \pmod {B'-1} \\ A' &< A \\ A'+B'-1 &\le A \end{aligned}\ \\begin{aligned} \ \\ C &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ AB &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ A &\equiv 1 \pmod {A-1} \\ B &\equiv B' \pmod {A-1} \\ B &< B' \\ B+A-1 &\le B' \end{aligned}\

Putting it together,

\\begin{aligned} B+A-1 &\le B' \\ B+(A'+B'-1)-1 &\le B' \\ B+A'+B'-2 &\le B' \\ B+A' &\le B'-B'+2 \\ B+A' &\le 2 \\ B &> 0 \\ A' &> 0 \\ B = A' &= 1 \\ B' &= C \\ A &= C \end{aligned}\

So for a $$\B'\$$ to be found, $$\B'=C\$$ and $$\A=C\$$ must be true. But the regex tries to assert the modulus

$$\C-B'-(A-1) \equiv 0 \pmod {B'-1}\$$

But if $$\B'=C\$$ and $$\A=C\$$, this becomes

\\begin{aligned} C-C-(C-1) \equiv 0 \pmod {B'-1} \\ 0-(C-1) \equiv 0 \pmod {B'-1} \end{aligned}\

If $$\C>1\$$, the regex will fail to subtract $$\C-1\$$ from $$\0\$$ before it can even try to assert the modulus, thus the search for $$\B\$$ will continue with other values, and the correct one will be found.

If $$\C=A=1\$$, the answer $$\B'=1\$$ is correct, as $$\B=1\$$ in this case.

Therefore the regex will always give the correct answer for $$\C>0\$$, and since $$\C=0\$$ is handled as a special case, it will give the correct answer for all inputs.

Takes its arguments in unary, as two strings of x characters whose lengths represent the numbers. The divisor comes first, followed by a , delimiter, followed by the dividend. The quotient and remainder are returned in the capture groups \2 and \5, respectively.

In contrast to the ECMAScript regex solution, this one doesn't have to do anything anywhere near as fancy or mathematically interesting. Just count the number of times $$\divisor\$$ fits into $$\dividend\$$ by splitting the divisor to keep two tandem running totals that are both subtracted from $$\dividend\$$, one that keeps subtracting $$\divisor-1\$$, and one that keeps subtracting $$\1\$$ and adding it to the total quotient. We must do a split like this, because regex refuses to repeat a zero-width group more than once (this, along with the limited space to work in, is exactly what prevents it from being Turing-complete).

I never wrote a division algorithm in any regex flavor besides ECMAScript before. So it's interesting to now know how they compare in golfed size.

How about no div or mod build-ins? ### No build-ins, 36 32 31 bytes a#b|a<b=(a,0)|m<-a-b=(+1)<$>m#b


Try it online! Example usage: 13#2 returns (1,6), that is the mod result is first and the div result second. If a is smaller b, then a mod b is a and a div b is 0, so (a,0) is returned. Otherwise recursively compute mod and div of a-b and b, add 1 to the division result and keep the remainder.

Adding 1 to the division result is achieved by using <$>, which is commonly used as map to map functions over lists, but works on tuples too, however the function is applied to the second tuple element only. Edit: Saved one byte thanks to xnor! • Your second solution can shave a byte using <$> on a tuple to act on its second element :a#b|a<b=(a,0)|m<-a-b=(+1)<\$>m#b. – xnor Mar 28 '17 at 0:20

# SWI Prolog, 109 bytes

p(A):-print(A).
d(F,S,0,F):-S>F.
d(F,S,D,R):-G is F-S,d(G,S,E,R),D is E+1.
d(F,S):-d(F,S,D,R),p(D),p(-),p(R).


Output:

?- d(255,25).
10-5
true .
?- d(5,7).
0-5
true .


Description:

Simple recursive algorithm without builtin division or modulo. It simply counts "how many times fits the Second number into the First one?" and reports the result (unified to D) with the remainder (R).

//edit: removed unnecessary spaces

• Welcome to PPCG! I have never used Prolog before, but noticed there are spaces around :- in the last line but not on the others. Are they required there for some reason? The same goes for E + 1 while F-S suggest there are no spaces needed. – Laikoni Mar 31 '17 at 11:20
• Laikoni: You are definitely right! I've just removed the spaces and updated final byte count. – Jan Drozen Mar 31 '17 at 12:19

# Grok, 19 bytes

:Yp:Y%zp/Yp1%-I,Wzq


This outputs remainder,division. Additionally, inputs must be passed through STDIN; it can't be piped from another command.

Explanation:

:Yp                    # Takes the first integer from STDIN and duplicates it.
:Y                  # Takes the second integer from STDIN and duplicates it to the register.
%z                # Modulos the two numbers and outputs the remainder.
p               # Moves the second number from the register to the Document (stack).
/              # Performs float division on the two numbers.
Yp1%-         # Floor function shamelessly stolen from https://stackoverflow.com/a/5123037/10363591
I,W      # Pushes , to the stack and outputs it.
zq    # Outputs quotient and terminates.
