No, because for most of those problems there's an easy alternative, declare another counter variable and you can just go:

    z++;
    if(z>100000) {
        print x;
        z=0;
    }

When I was taught maths there was no emphasis on remainders and it certainly wasn't denoted with a % sign. I vaguely remember writing something like 12r3 in primary school. The r meaning remainder.
