Hi Roger,

The changes look fine.  However, I suggest adding an explanatory note 
along the lines of "Normal integer division operates under the round to 
zero rounding mode (truncation).  This operation instead acts under the 
round to negative infinity (floor) rounding mode. The floor rounding 
mode gives different results than truncation when the exact result is 
negative."

Thanks,

-Joe
