25 = 17 + 8
(17+8)^102 /17 = 8^102/17 {by reminder theorem}
[Actually Remainder of this : (17+8)^102 /17 = Remainder of this : 8^102/17]

now 8^102/17 = 64^51/17
which is in turn equal to (68-4)^51/17
again by theorem it becomes (-4)^51/17
= -4 x ( -4 )^50 /17
= -4 x ( 16 )^25 /17
= -4 x (17-1)^25 /17
= -4 x -1^25 = 4
4 is the Answer
u can also solve by taking 25^102 = 625^51 and then (629-4)^51 and solve accordingly
{ I took 629 becoz 17 x 37 is 629 }
