76^77 / 7. what is the reminder
Read Solution (Total 10)
-
- 76^77 / 7
=>(7*11-1)^77 / 7
=> (-1)^77/7
=> -1/7
=> 6/7 => remainder = 6

- 76^77/7 ==> [76*76*76....upto 77times]/7
76^1/7=6 [remainder(6) wen v divide 76/7]
Therefore [6*6*6*....upto 77times]/7
use cyclic remainder theory
6^1/7= 6
6^2/7= 36/7= 1
6^3/7= 216/7= 6
6^4/7= 1296/7= 1
so it follows like 6,1,6,1
we ll get d remainder as 6 for all odd powers of 6 nd 1 for all d even power of 6
so 76^77 which has an odd power
so the remainder ll be 6 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(0)
- 6...since 76^77= -1^77= -1 so ans will be 6
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- as we know,the remainder of 6^anything is 6.hence the ans will b 6 as the unit digit of 76 is 6.

- cycle of 6 always leave 6 in the LSB
so,76^77 leaves 6 in the LSB so,6/7 will give remainder=6 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans is 6.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- in 76 ---- the unit digit is 6^77 is always 6
so 6/7 reminder is 6 only - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- answer is 6
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 6 is the remainder
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 76 have 6 at unit place
so 6^77 will have 6 at unit place
thus 6/7=6
(since 6 appears at unit place as many no. of times you multiply) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
