Just a suggestion: what about making the returned array an associative 
array ? Like so:
```
array(
     'quotient' => 61,
     'remainder' => 1,
);
```

This would remove the need for devs to remember the order of the return 
values and would make the return value self-documenting.

I expect return values ​​will probably be the main topic of discussion.
