Feature request: remainder

[dmarcelino]

Hi, thanks for creating node-bignum, I've started using it today and I'm already loving it! 😀

I'd like to suggest creating a remainder operation as it can be really useful sometimes. Currently I'm doing the below:

// Big num remainder (not very performant)
function remainder(dividend, divisor, quotient) {
  if(!quotient){
    quotient = dividend.div(divisor);
  }
  return dividend.sub(quotient.mul(divisor));
}

which I don't consider ideal by any means. Let me know what you think about the feature or even about a better existing way to get the remainder. Thanks!

remainder = dividend.mod(divisor);

should do what you want.

Oh you are right, mod stands for modulo which is the remainder. Thanks!
