Preliminaries  In  this  paper  we  address  the  problem  of  determining  residual  values  in  integer  division  by  mathematical  computation  more  am enable  to  analytic  methods  than  iterative  division,  as  well  as  the  values  of  the  corresponding  integer  quotient.  Diophantine  generator  functions  derived  from  empirical  observation  of  the  pattern  present  in  integer  val ues  as  a  result  of  sequential  execution  of  the  division  operation  over  each  of  the  respective  closed  integer  intervals  is  presented  that  admits  the  direct  computation  of  corresponding  residual  and  quotient  by  means  of  polynomial  functions.  Unlike  the  process  of  si mple  iterative  division  the  resulting  generator  functions  admit  application  of  mathematical  tools  to  analysis  of  applicable  problems  not  otherwise  admitted  by  the  sequential  division  process.  We  have  not  found  the  results  presented  addressed  by  others  in  available  literature.  The  focus  of  the  literature  of  general  relation  to  the  problem  and  problems  it  impacts  having  taken  avenues  premised  on  more  conventional  methods,  such  as  algebraic  structures  and  numeric  sieves.  The  approach  taken  in  derivation  of  the  generator  functions  is  by  way  of  difference  expression [1]  on  the  3 ‐ tuple  < x,  y,  r >  in  context  of  the  commonly  known  relation   󰇛   󰇜  .  2.
