Remainder is always positive in modular arithmetic if the divisor is positive. According to Euclid's division algorithm lemma remainder in mathematics is always defined as a positive number. So remainder can not be a negative number in any case

What will be the remainder when 47 to the power 47 is divided by 144 in base 12? Answer should be in base 12.
The only difference will be instead from having 0-9 we will have 0-9 and then A & B. Try it now. Or you can convert every thing on a base of 10 get the answer and convert it back to base 12.
