The first part is unclear.

The second part is clear.

Synthetic Division to find the remainder:
______________|_________________________________
______________|
_________-1___|______1______-2_______13______k
______________|_____________-1________3_____-16
__________________________________________________
____________________1______-3_______16______k-16

k-16=-8
k=-8%2B16
