Ask a grade-school student who is at the point where she can divide integers, but hasn't learned about fractions or decimals, "What's 10 divided by 3?" She will answer, "3".
Grade school students learn long division, which is divmod() in Python - it returns a dividend and a remainder. So she will answer (3,1) ;) Dave
