Find the number of zeroes at the end of 350!.


Find the number of zeroes at the end of 350!

Solution:

Maximum power of 5 in 350!
= 70 + 14 + 2
= 86

This way:

[ 350 / 5 ]  +  [350/5x5]  +  [350 / 5x5x5] + …….. [till the quotient is  greater than  zero]
= 70 + 14 + 2
= 86

Answer: 86

Find the sum of divisors of 544 which are perfect squares.


The remainder when 10^10 + 10^100 + ......10^10000000000 is divided by 7 is


Find the last two digits of 15 x 37 x 63 x 51 x 97 x 17.



Find the last two digits of 15 x 37 x 63 x 51 x 97 x 17.


Solution:

15×37×63×51×97×17

= (10+5)*(40-3)*(60+3)*(50+1)*(100-3)*(10+7)

Multiply 5 x 3x 3 x 1 x 3 x 7

Find the remainder when (10^3 + 9^3)^752 is divided by 12^3?


Find the remainder when 7^99 is divided by 2400.


Find the remainder when 7^99 is divided by 2400.

Solution:

Using pattern recognition(cyclicity method).

1) 7^1  mod 2400 = 7
2)  7^2  mod 2400 = 49
3)  7^3 mod 2400 = 343
4)  7^4  mod 2400 = 1
After this the same pattern will be keep on repeating.
So, 

Cyclicty = 4
Power = 99

Power mod Cyclicity = 99 mod 4 = 3

Third value in the above cycle is 343.

Answer: 343


What are the last two digits of 7^2008?


What are the last two digits of 7^2008?

Solution:
7^1 = 07
7^2 = 49  
7^3 = 343   -> 49 times 7 is 343 => last two digits => 43
7^4 = 2401  -> 43 times 7 is 2401 => last  two digits => 01
7^5 = 16807
7^6 = 117649
7^7 = 823543
7^8 = 5764801 -> last two digits again 01

01 -> repeats after every 4 times

Now, 2008 mod 4 = 0

Hence, the last two digits of 7^2008 = 01

When 2^256 is divided by 17 the remainder would be


Which of the following can be a number divisible by 24?


The units digit of the expression 127^813 x 553^3703 x 4532^828 is:


Find the units digit of the expression 11^1 +12^2 + 13^3 +14^4 +15^5 +16^6


The rightmost non-zero digit of the number 30^2720 is:


Find the number of zeroes at the end of 48!.


Find the number of zeroes at the end of 48!.

Solution:

Maximum power of 5 in 48!
= 9 + 1 
= 10

This way:

[ 48 / 5 ]  +  [48/5x5]  +  [48  / 5x5x5] + …….. [till the quotient is  greater than  zero]
= 9 + 1 + 0
= 10

Answer: 10

What is the total number of divisors of 1728?

Find the number of divisors of 1728


Method:
Find  the prime factorization of the number n.
Take all the exponents in the factorization.
Add 1 to each
Then multiply these "exponents + 1"s together.


Solution:
Prime Factorization of 1728:

2 | 1728 
2 | 864
2 | 432
2 | 216  
2 | 108
2 | 54
3 | 27
3 | 9
3 | 3
   | 1
2^6, 3^3
Exponents: 6 & 3

Add 1 to each exponent (6+1) (3+1)
Multiple “exponents+1” together = (6+1) x (3+1) =7 x 4 = 28
Total number of divisors of 1728 = 28

What is the total number of divisors of 600?


Numbers: Find the number of divisors of 600

Method:
Find  the prime factorization of the number n.
Take all the exponents in the factorization.
Add 1 to each
Then multiply these "exponents + 1"s together.

Example:
Find the number of divisors of 600

Solution:
Prime Factorization of 600:
