What is the last two digit of 74^2365?
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- last 2 digits of 74^1=74
last 2 digits of 74^2= 76... from 5476
last 2 digits of 74^3= 24 ...... from 405224
last 2 digits of 74^4= 76... from 5476
last 2 digits of 74^5= 24
so last 2 digits of 74^(2n)= 76... from 5476
last 2 digits of 74^(2n+1)= 24
so last two digit of 74^2365 will be 24.

- 74^2 = 5476
76^n has last two digits = 76
=> 74^(2 x 1182) = 76^(1182) = 76
74^(2364) x 74 = 76 x 74 = 24
=> last two digits = 24
You can also apply congruency method.
74^2 ≡ 76 (mod 100)
(74^2)^1182 ≡ 76^1182 ≡ 76 (mod 100)
(74^2364)x 74 ≡ 76 x 74 ≡ 24 (mod 100)
=> last two digits = 24
