Find the remainder when 4^96 is divided by 6.a)0b)2c)3d)4Correct answe...
496/6, We can write it in this form
(6 - 2)96/6
Now, Remainder will depend only the powers of -2. So,
(-2)96/6, It is same as
([-2]4)24/6, it is same as
(16)24/6
Now,
(16 * 16 * 16 * 16..... 24 times)/6
On dividing individually 16 we always get a remainder 4.
So,
(4 * 4 * 4 * 4............ 24 times)/6.
Hence, Required Remainder = 4.
NOTE: When 4 has even number of powers, it will always give remainder 4 on dividing by 6.

Let N= 4^96, this question can be changed to 2*(4^95) is being divided by 3 ( cancelling the common factor 2) . Now remainder when 2*(3+1)^95 is divided by 3 is 2.
So we can write,
2*(4^95 ) = 3k +2
=> 4*(4^95) = 6k+4 ( multiply both sides by 2)
so remainder is 4.
