Solve the expression.
Solve the expression.
We can re-write the expression using division.
We need to use order of operations to solve. First, evaluate the parenthesis.
In the first parenthesis, we need to multiply before we add.
Finally, we can divide. Remember that a positive divided by a negative is a negative.

What is the remainder when 2411 is divided by 8?
What is the remainder when 2411 is divided by 8?
Use long division to solve.
8 goes into 24 three times with no remainder, so the first digit of the answer is 3.
8 goes into 1 zero times, so the next digit is zero. The 1 carries to amke the next division 8 into 11.
Finally, 8 goes into 11 once with a remainder of 3. This makes the last digit of the answer 1, with a remainder of 3.
Final answer: 
The final remainder is 3.
