The solution to this problem is that the remainder in such a case will always be equal to (p - 1), which is 'WILSON'S THEOREM' which states that: 'p' divides [(p - 1)! + 1] if and only if 'p' is a prime and therefore, whenever (p - 1)! is divided by 'p', the remainder thus obtained will be equal to (p - 1).
