remainder is always non-negative
Bunuel, I have to disagree with you on that:

As per the formal definition, the remainder is always positive.
However, the concept of negative remainders can be used to ease out calculations.
So, as far as formal treatment (as in case of GMAT) is concerned, please stick to positive remainders.
