Than you need a different programming language. Wasn't there a stack
oriented language called "POP-2" or something that would allow this
with this sort of syntax? Or you could always use Forth:

	dividend divisor /MOD q ! r !

(I may have got the order of the results mixed up)

How about COBOL?

DIVIDE a BY b GIVING c REMAINDER d.
