a number divided by 2 cannot leave a remainder of 3.
example:
1/2 = 0 with a remainder of 1.
2/2 = 1 with a remainder of 0.
3/2 = 1 with a remainder of 1.
4/2 = 2 with a remainder of 0.
0/2 = 0 with a remainder of 0.
-1/2 = 0 with a remainder of -1.
-2/2 = -1 with a remainder of 0.
-3/2 = -1 with a remainder of -1.
-4/2 = -2 with a remainder of 0.
that's my take on this problem.
if i'm correct, there is no number divided by 2 that leaves a remainder of 3.
