Problem
The remainder can be defined for all real numbers 
and 
with 
by ![\[\text{rem} (x ,y)=x-y\left \lfloor \frac{x}{y} \right \rfloor\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/5/c/95c21b1ce04c5f3c86f558991d39aa35a13bca21.png)
where 
denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to 
. What is the value of 
?
Solution 1
The value, by definition, is 
Solution 2
Do note that the denominator of the answer will be a multiple of 5 and 8 (40) and that the answer will also be negative. The only answer choice that satisfies this is
