[Tutor] Basic terminology

[Max Noel]

	In a slightly more generic fashion (everybody started dropping 
examples), the goal of an integer (euclidian) division (say, a / b) is 
to express an integer as such:

a = b * quotient + remainder

	Where all the numbers used are integers, and 0 <= remainder < b.

	When you perform integer division in Python, a / b (a // b in 2.4+) 
gives you the quotient, and a % b gives you the remainder.

	See the other posts for examples of use :p
