#### D.8.6.1 Quotient

Procedure from library `zeroset.lib` (see zeroset_lib).

Usage:
  Quotient(f, g); where f,g are polynomials;

Purpose:
  compute the quotient q and remainder r s.t. f = g*q + r, deg(r) < deg(g)

Return:
  list of polynomials

        _[1] = quotient  q
        _[2] = remainder r

Assume:
  basering = Q[x] or Q(a)[x]

Note:
  This procedure is outdated, and should no longer be used. Use div and mod instead.

Example:

    LIB "zeroset.lib";
    ring R = (0,a), x, lp;
    minpoly = a2+1;
    poly f =  x4 - 2;
    poly g = x - a;
    list qr = Quotient(f, g);
    qr;
    ==> [1]:
    ==>    x3+(a)*x2-x+(-a)
    ==> [2]:
    ==>    0
    qr[1]*g + qr[2] - f;
    ==> 1
