remainder??

when u divide a negative number by an integer , take the normal case( i.e. the positive case)

hence just assume the following to be 17/3

remainder =2 .
hence ur quotient AND remainder WILL BE NEGATIVE since ur numerator is a negative number
so quotient =-5
remainder= -2

then i dont think the quotient = the divisor X dividend + remainder.

then we could simply write it in the for -5.2/3 right?

i know quotient is always integer what i meant to say is -5 X 3 + 2

yeah nishant is rite!!!!

coz in arithmetic system first of all REMAINDER is always +ve........

arre aditya -5X3 -2 wud give -17..not -5X3 +2.
nishant sir is right.
remainder is an integer between 0 to 1 less than the given number..

isnt the answer 1???

its not allowed to be negative as far as i know.....its the rules..... :)
