Synthetic Division

I have one question about synthetic division...
In this process, the last number in the 3rd row is the remainder, i know that remainder is always positive.
but, what if the number that you get is negative?

so what does that mean?


Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. ^_^
