Returns the remainder after dividing self by other.

Example
11.remainder(4) # => 3 11.remainder(-4) # => 3 -11.remainder(4) # => -3 -11.remainder(-4) # => -3 12.remainder(4) # => 0 12.remainder(-4) # => 0 -12.remainder(4) # => 0 -12.remainder(-4) # => 0 13.remainder(4.0) # => 1.0 13.remainder(Rational(4, 1)) # => (1/1)
