Question

$The remainder when 2^{2000} is divided by 17 is$

Moderate

A

1
B

2
C

8
D

None of these

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} - We have 2^{4} = 16 = 17 - 1 \\ ∴ 2^{2000} = {(2^{4})}^{500} = (17 - 1)^{500} \\ =^{500} C_{0} 17^{500} -^{500} C_{1} 17^{499} +^{500} C_{2} 17^{498} -^{500} C_{3} 17^{497} + \dots -^{500} C_{499} (17) + (- 1)^{500} \end{array}$
= $17 m + 1$ , where m is some positive integer.
required remainder is 1.
