Indeed,
div_q_ui functions compute and store the quotient (and return the remainder);
div_r_ui functions compute and store the remainder (and return the remainder);
div_qr_ui functions compute and store both (and return the remainder);
div_ui functions do "nothing", but (... return the remainder);

Can you suggest a better way to say that?
