Description: ------------ On this moment there is no implementation for a normal modulo. Could it be added please?

To get modulos, currently, you'd need to do this: list(, $modulo) = $a->divide($b); The problem I have with creating a separate modulo function is that if you wanted both the quotient and the remainder you'd have to perform a divide operation twice, whereas right now, you only need to do it once. Now, I suppose I could make it so that the quotient and the modulo are stored in a class variable and then add something like this to the start of the divide() and mod() functions: if ($this->numerator->equals($a) && $this->denominator->equals($b)) { return $this->remainder; // or $this->quotient if this code is in divide() } Only problem with that is that breaks backwards compatibility. Breaking backwards compatibility isn't necessarily a problem, I suppose, but I am, none-the-less, hesitant to do it.

I'm also in with adding the modulus function. Currently I need to perform it several times without finding the quotient.
