Really?  It takes 18 pages to explain what "Euclidean division" means?

I haven't waded through the document as yet.  Anyone care to save me the 
effort with an 18 word summary?

Let's see, according to xkcd in English language each letter evaluates 
to approximately 1.1 bits, assuming 8 letters per word, 18 words would 
be roughly 20 bytes.  Yeah, I think that is more than enough to explain 
Euclidean division.
