yeh the proof would have to be longish.   

m/n=r.    2m/2n=(2rn)/(2m/r)=r^2/m

the answer has to be the same for both m/n=r and 2m/2n=r because the 2 cancels out.  not sure what im doing wrong.

Here's a good math question. If integer m is divided by integer n and the remainder is r, what is the remainder when 2m is divided by 2n?



the proof is literally a page long. no way you have time to do that on a test. so you gotta plug in numbers. easy answer. and that's considered a hard one.



evidently, the math portion is easier on the GRE than the SAT. Wouldn't doubt it, it's really easy.
