When you say it did not work as expected, what did you want, what did
you try, and what did you get? 

Assuming you are working with integers/longs,  then

>>> i = 13
>>> j = 5
>>> i/j     # DIV
2
>>> i%j     # MOD
3

Note that in future pythons, The / operator will no longer be integer
(floor) division.  See http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0238.html.
