when 247 is divided by 6,
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "   41\r\n" );
document.write( "6)247\r\n" );
document.write( "  24 \r\n" );
document.write( "    7\r\n" );
document.write( "    6\r\n" );
document.write( "    1 \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "the remainder is r,
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "I got a remander of 1, so r is 1\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "and when 247 is divided by 12,
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "    20\r\n" );
document.write( "12)247\r\n" );
document.write( "   24\r\n" );
document.write( "     7\r\n" );
document.write( "     0\r\n" );
document.write( "     7\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "the remainder is s.
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "I got a remainder of 7, so s is 7\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "what is the value of r – s ?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "Since r is 1, and s is 7,  then r - s = 1 - 7 = -6\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the answer is -6, which is choice (a)\r\n" );
