369^77/7
What is the remainder?
Read Solution (Total 17)
-
- 139^77/7
=> (7*20-1)^77/7
=> (-1)^77/7
=> -1/7 => rem = 6 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(18) No(25)
- answer is 3,because for every 6 powers (7-1,I.e.,divisor -1) reminder is 1,so 77%7=5,
so for 369%7=5
5
(369^2)%7=(5*5)%7=4
369^3)%7=(4*5)%7= 6
369^4)%7=(6*5)%7=2
369^5)%7=(2*5)%7=3
so for (369 ^ 5)%7 reminder is 3
and if we observe for 369^6)%7 = 3*5)%7 =1 so if n is divisor for (n-1)the power reminder is 1
you can check this for (135^77)%7, (76^77)%7
so answer is 3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(0)
- 139^77/7= (53*7-2)/7
so remainder = (-2)/7
remainder= 5 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(2)
- ans is 3

- According to rule of power cycle divide the power by four,here 77 is divided by 4 it gives 1 as remainder.last digit is 9.so 9^1 is 9,then divide 9/7= 2 remainder. so ans is 2.

- For 139^77/7
Rem=6 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(1)
- 3 is the right answer
(364+5)^77/7-->5^77/7-->5*(5^2)^38/7-->5*(21+4)^38/7-->5*2^76/7-->5*2*(7+1)^25/7-->10/7-->3 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 9^1/7=2
9^2/7=4
9^3/7=1
9^4/7=2
so,,77/3=2
r=2,,ans 4

- (371-2)^77/7
=-2^77/7
=(-2^2*2^75)/7
=(-4*8^15)/7
=(-4*1^15)/7
-4/7
=7-4
=3 (ans) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- 9^77/7=[(9^3)^25]*(9^2)/7=rem(1)*81/7=rem is 4
ans is 4 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- the cylicity of the last digit in 369 i.e of 9 is 2..
then we devide 77/2 the remainder is 1..then the last digit of the no. 369^77
is= 9^1=9 so the remainder is 9/7=2 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- can any one tell me which is the correct answer 6 or 2

- question is not 139 guys....
its 369.... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 369/7 gives the remainder is 5. now we have to simply calculate 5^77/7 to find the answer.
again, 5^7/7 will give remainder 5. Similarly 5^11/7 will give remainder 3.
So the remainder is 3.
