Q3 answers

Q3a. 75 = 37 (mod 1)

So 75 75 75  divided by 37 'll give reminder 1.

Q3b. 2100 is divided by 101
      reminder 1

Reminder of 2017 divided by
Reminder of 2017 divided by 17 = 20 = 3
=> Reminder of 2051 divided by 17 = 27 = 10
 
Now Reminder of 1017 divided by 17 = 10
=> Reminder of 1034 divided by 17 = 100 =-2
=> Reminder of 1068 divided by 17 = 4
=> Reminder of 1085 divided by 17 = 40 = 6
=> Reminder of 1097 divided by 17 = 6x1012
 
Again Reminder of 102 divided by 17 = -2
=> Reminder of 104 divided by 17 = 4
=> Reminder of 108 divided by 17 = 16 = -1
=> Reminder of 1012 divided by 17 = -4
 
So Reminder of 1097 divided by 17 = 6x1012
= Reminder of 6 x (-4)divided by 17
= Reminder of -24 divided by 17
= 10 (that’s the answer)

ans for 1st

Q1. What is the reminder when 1139 is divided by 19

11 and 19 is prime to each other so 11^36/19=1 reminder so final reminder=11*11*11/19=1 reminder

Q1

Hi..

Can you please explain the above soluution?
how the step 11^36/19 comes?

thanks

hihere is the solutionQ) rem

hi
here is the solution
Q) rem when 11^39 divided by 19
here since 11 and 19 are co prime so according to euler theorem e(19)=18
so acc to euler 11^18*11^18*11^18 (i.e. 11^36) /19 rem=1
so rest is 11^3/19 so rem is 1

solution q) rem

thanks a lot..:-)

i guess i need lot more practise in apt....

Solution to

Solution to Q1....

11^39/19

=> (11^3)^13 /19

=> (1331)^13 /19

=> (1330 + 1)^13/19

=> as 1330 is divisible by 19, every factor of the expansion will contain a 1330...
except

(1)^13/19

therefore: remainder is 1.

Hope you get it now.
