Negative Remainder Theorem and its Application
Say, a number 37 is divided by 7 then what would be the remainder?
Yes, 2 is the actual remainder which is also a positive remainder. It also gives a negative remainder. The negative remainder would be -5. See, the positive remainder is 2 which are just more than 35 and -5 is just less than 42. Notice, 35 and 42 is divisible by 7.
