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 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
