Knuth discusses these in Volume 1 (I don't have a copy to hand, but
I think its about a quarter of the way through).
You might also want to look up: Raymond T. Boute, "The Euclidean
Definition of the Functions div and mod", ACM TOPLAS, 14(2):127-144,
April 1992.
There is also some discussion on the implementation of these and
related mathematical operators in the ISO standard (ISO 10301-11:1994)
