Math. Math math math math math. Math math? Math.

Today's GAPP is an ア・マルーネ, which can be romanized as A Marūne. It seems that the genre is quite old and obscure, and the name doesn't have an established English translation. The genre's name comes from 余るね (read: amaru ne), which roughly means "it has a remainder", but stylized to sound like a foreign word. I suppose A Marūne would be fine to use in English, but feel free to suggest transl(iter)ations of the name.

Math.

Rules:
- Place exactly one of the integers 1-16 (or 1-9 in the example) in each cell such that every integer is used exactly once.
- Numbers in each row must decrease from left to right. Columns do not have this restriction.
- Numbers between cells show the remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number. Remainders 3 or larger are written as ∞.

GAPP 101: If the remainder of a number divided by another number is N, then the difference of those two numbers must be at least N.
