Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- 37 and 17 are co prime and factor of 17 is only 17
so 37^[17{1-(1/17)}] will give reminder as 1 on dividing by 17
now 37^52 = (37^16)^3 * (37)^4
now 37/17 provide 3 as reminder
and 3^4/17 provide reminder as 13
so answer will be 13

- i don't know the exact answer but i guess
we know ,unit digit in 37^4 is 1 means if we multiply 37 itself by 4 times then we get 1 at unit place
,so we can write 37^52 as (37^4)^13
now divide by 17
37^52=37/17=3
the remainder will be 3(not sure) - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
