-14 mod 5:

 There's a common rule: ("Punkt vor Strich" in German) multiplication (* / mod 
rem) before addition (+ -), thus this is
 
      -14 mod 5 = -2**2

You wouldn't fall into the latter trap, would you?

(Hope I'm correct, did not look it up in ARM :-)

What's

  -14 mod (-5)
  -14 rem (-5)

I don't know for sure without looking it up.
