  Title:    Partial Remainder
 
  Syntax:   FPREM
            FPREM1 (80387/487 only)
 
  Description:
 
     Calculates the remainder of ST divided by ST(1); the result is
     returned in ST. The remainder retains the same sign as the original
     dividend. The calculation uses the following formula:
 
          remainder = ST - ST(1) * quotient
 
     For FPREM, the quotient is the exact value obtained by chopping
     ST / ST(1) toward 0. For FPREM1, the quotient is the integer
     nearest to the exact value of ST / ST(1). When two integers are
     equally close to the given value, the even integer is used. FPREM1
     conforms to the IEEE standard.
 
     These instructions are normally used in a loop that repeats until
     the reduction is complete, as indicated by the condition codes of
     the status word.
 
     The condition codes for FPREM and FPREM1 are as follows:
