remainder of 3^1000 divided by 73
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- 3^1 / 73 results in remainder of 3
3^2 / 73 results in remainder of 9
3^3 / 73 results in remainder of 27
3^4 / 73 results in remainder of 8
continuing same way we get a sequence of 3,9,27,8,24..... at 3^13/73 we have remainder equals to 3
i.e the sequence repeats at cycle of 12
hence 1000/12 gives a remainder 4
remainder 4 here implies to the 4th term of the sequence which is 8.
hence 8 is the required solution

- ans =8
3^1000/73=
=(3^4)250/73
=81^250/73
=8^250/73(remainder theorem)
=(8^3)^83 *8/73
=512^83/73
=1^83*8/73
=8 ans

- (3^4)^250/73=(81^250)/73=(8^250)/73=((8^3)^83*8)/73=8

- ans=8
3^1000/73=
from "fermet theorem" 3^72/73=1remainder; { x^(n-1)/n=1(remainder)}
so 3^(72*13)*3^64/73 3^72*13/73=1rem
= 3^64/73
= (3^4)*16/73 81/73=8rem
= 8^16/73
= (8^4)*4/73 8^4/73=8rem
= 8^4/73
gives remainder=8 ans - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 29 is the answer
3^1000/73=
=(3^4)250/73
=(81*250)/73
=((73+8)*250)/73
=250+(2000)/73
=250+(1460+540)/73
=250+20+540/73
=270+(73*7+29)/73
=277+29/73
so 29 is the answer - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(9)
- is their any openings for freshers in tcs at present plss frnds reply me if u u know
