Whats the remainder when 6^57 is divided by 61?

Reminder is 37.

2^57 mod 61 = 23
3^57 mod 61 = 52
23*52 mod 61 = 37

thanks a lot

6^ 57/61= 6^-3/61=6^-3*306^3/61 =51^3/61=-10^3/61=-24

thus = 61-24 = 37

m i correct?

plz elucidate from the third step...
i m not able to do after 2nd step coz its becoming tedious to apply inverse euler in that case...

dude, if u can send me any pdf's regarding quant it'd be helpful. My mail id is , thanks in advance



dont put ur email like this.
if mods c this, it will not be good for u.........

if u want pdfs- u can always browse the attachments in threads!

thanq so much i'm sorry i didn't know that

i would recommend the method followed by divisht above.

any way ma method is

in the third step i multiplied by 306
Now i need to multiply numerator with a multiple of 6 which leaves remainder 1 with 61
so the cond 6m = 61k+1 => ...which is true for k=5 and the number is 306.

sorry for late reply. 37 is the correct Ans

61^59 % 59 ?

61^59 % 59 ?

61^59 mod 59 =
2^59 mod 59 =
32* (2^6)^9 mod 59 = 32 * 125^3 mod 59 =
32 * 343 mod 59 = 2
remainder = 2

my doubt was - can v use euler here!
even by euler v get the same answer but r 59 and 59 co-prime?

i guess u r mistaking in applying euler. we need to verify if 59 n 61 are coprime.

but we ca use Fermat's little theorem here.
59 is prime and 59 and 61 are coprime.
hence 61^58 mod 59 =1
hence 61^59 mod 59 = 2

for two numbers to be co-prime, they should have gcd = 1.
now, decide for yourself.

both are prime number. what else to check to tell them co-prime.
using Euler theorem
Euler no if 59 =58.
61^58*61/59= 61/59=> remainder is 2.

How many two-digit numbers increase by 18 when their digits are reversed?
(1) 5 (2) 6 (3) 7 (4) 8 (4) 10

numbers of form 11p + 2 satisfies the condition

so 3)7

ya right answer but your approach is very nice....

7 numbers. The difference between the digits should be 2.
