A subtle point is that the remainder is always a positive number. So -7 divided by 3 is -3, remainder 2 (rather than -2, remainder -1). This is important for the date of Easter because we must often calculate the remainder when dividing into a negative number. Since in that case we are not interested in the quotient it is sufficient to calculate the negative remainder and then simply add to it the number we were dividing by. So -11 mod 3 may be calculated as: -11 divided by 3 is -3, remainder -2, so the number required is -2 + 3 = 1.
A remainder can be any non-negative number that is less than the divisor. If the remainder is bigger than the divisor, the divisor can go into it another one (or more) times until the remainder is brought into that range.
A negative number or any number that is greater than or equal to 7.

For example, 70-1 is the same as 1 / 70+1. Similar for any other negative power. For the remainder of the problem, you simply have to add fractions.
This is a common operation in Number Theory, especially in relation to Euclid's Algorism.If, when dividing two numbers, complete division does not occur then usually the operation stops at a value less than the dividend and the resulting difference is described as the remainder.Example : 88 ÷ 7 = 12 with remainder 4. (12 x 7 = 84)A negative remainder is when the division stops at a value greater than the dividend. Normally this is the value immediately greater than the dividend.Example : 88 ÷ 7 = 13 with remainder -3 (13 x 7 = 91)

Yes because there is no legit remainder. If you do 4 divided by 2 you get 2 with a 0 remainder or no remainder.
