Fix for: GNU BC: "modulo" % with scale other than 0
Low Risk
The command manual says this about how BC calculates the modulo: The result of the expression is the "remainder" and it is computed in the following way. To compute a%b, first a/b is computed to scale digits. That result is used to compute a - ( a/b…
