remainder when 6^17 + 17^6 is divided by 7
6^17mod7....>(7-1)^17mod7=(-1)^17(because 7^17 is divisible by 7 ,so we avoid it and only take (-1)^17 mod 7=-1 .........(1)
17^6....>(7*2+3)^6 mod7=(3)^6 mod 7....729 mod 7=1 .......(2)
so now remainder when 6^17 + 17^6 is divided by 7
now eq (1)+(2) mod 7
(6^17 + 17^6)mod 7=(-1+1) mod 7=0 mod 7=0
ans is 0.
