Haskell provides separate families functions for these meanings:

    div,  mod, divMod,    -- x `mod` y >= 0,  x `mod` y < y  (for y > 0)
                          -- x `mod` y <= 0,  x `mod` y > y  (for y < 0)
    
    quot, rem, quotRem,   -- (-x) `rem` y == -(x `rem` y)
    
    /                     -- for floating point and other rationals only
