The <em>remainder</em> operator returns the remainder after its first 
argument is divided by its second argument.

syntax: </H3>
<em>remainder</em>(&lt;expression&gt;,&lt;expression&gt;) 
<P>
<P>
<P>
&lt;expression&gt; can be any valid REDUCE polynomial, and is not limited 
to numeric values.

remainder(13,6); 

  1 


remainder(x**2 + 3*x + 2,x+1); 

  0  


remainder(x**3 + 12*x + 4,x**2 + 1); 


  11*X + 4 


remainder(sin(2*x),x*y); 

  SIN(2*X)

</TT></PRE><P>In the default case, remainders are calculated over the integers. 
If you 
need the remainder with respect to another domain, it must be declared 
explicitly. 
<P>
<P>
If the first argument to <em>remainder</em> contains a denominator not equal to 

1, an error occurs.
