like you took -16 in place of 1, so are we always suppose to take negative remainder ? If not then how to decide when to tale +ve and when to take -ve remainder ?

My Explanation :

We need to find 14! mod 17
According to wilson's theorem, (p-1) ! ≡ -1 (mod p), where p is a prime number.

By using wilson's theorem,
=> (17 - 1)! ≡ -1 (mod 17)
=> 16! ≡ -1 (mod 17)

Actually we need to find x such that x ≡ 14! (mod 17)
=> 15 * 16 * x ≡ 16! (mod 17)
=> 15 * 16 * x ≡ -1 (mod 17) (using wilson's theorem as mentioned above in (1))
=> (-2) * (-1) * x ≡ -1 (mod 17)
=> 2 * x ≡ -1 (mod 17)
=> x ≡ -1 * multiplicative_inverse(2) (mod 17) (for finding multiplicative inverse of 2, we need to find y such that 2*y (mod 17) = 1 => y = 9 satisfies)
=> x ≡ -1 * 9 (mod 17)
=> x ≡ -9 (mod 17)
=> x ≡ 8 (mod 17)
