Checking -3:
| -3 | | | 4 | 37 | 6 | -27 |
| | | | | -12 | -75 | 207 |
| | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| | | 4 | 25 | -69 | 180 |
Since the last entry in the last row is NOT a 0, -3 is NOT a zero
================================================================
Checking 5:
| 5 | | | 4 | 37 | 6 | -27 |
| | | | | 20 | 285 | 1455 |
| | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| | | 4 | 57 | 291 | 1428 |
Since the last entry in the last row is NOT a 0, 5 is NOT a zero
================================================================
Checking -8:
| -8 | | | 4 | 37 | 6 | -27 |
| | | | | -32 | -40 | 272 |
| | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| | | 4 | 5 | -34 | 245 |
Since the last entry in the last row is NOT a 0, -8 is NOT a zero
================================================================
Checking 8:
| 8 | | | 4 | 37 | 6 | -27 |
| | | | | 32 | 552 | 4464 |
| | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| | | 4 | 69 | 558 | 4437 |
Since the last entry in the last row is NOT a 0, 8 is NOT a zero
================================================================
Checking -4:
| -4 | | | 4 | 37 | 6 | -27 |
| | | | | -16 | -84 | 312 |
| | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| | | 4 | 21 | -78 | 285 |
Since the last entry in the last row is NOT a 0, -4 is NOT a zero
