If you want just the fraction,
266 / 11 - 266 div 11

or a two-operation version:
266 mod 11 / 11
Probably equal precedence with left-to-right within the precedence
group.
That seems to be how it acts, anyhow...
10 mod 2 * 3 --> 0
10 mod (2 * 3) --> 4
10 * (2 mod 3) --> 20
10 * 2 mod 3 --> 2
Manual not at hand.
Here's the section from the manual. I formatted it for plain text.
Some of the operators won't appear as the proper character on this list
so I modified them a bit. They are:
less than or equal:
<=
greater than or equal:
>=
not equal:
!=
If you look at order number 4 you will see that div and mod are on
equal precedence with * and / so they will indeed resolve left to right
if they are used at the same level of an equation.
