Niggle time:

You meant to say the C standard defines the % operator as the mathematically
*incorrect* remainder, otherwise known as truncation towards zero, and 
formally defined as discarding any fractional part of the result.  This is 
purely for efficiency - mathematically it's offensive, but unfortunately we 
can't go back in time and add the few extra transistors it would have taken 
to do the job properly in the early CPUs.
