Let N be any integer. Then

i^N=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }N\equiv0\mod4\\i&\text{if }N\equiv1\mod4\\-1&\text{if }N\equiv2\mod4\\-i&\text{if }N\equiv3\mod4\end{cases}

In other words:

(1) If N is a multiple of 4, then i^N=1.

(2) If dividing N by 4 leaves a remainder of 1, then i^N=i, since i^N=i^{4n+1} for some integer n, and from (1) we know that i^{4n+1}=i^{4n}i=i (because, obviously, 4n is a multiple of 4).

(3) If instead you get a remainder of 2, then i^N=-1. This follows from (1) as well. i^N=i^{4n+2}=i^{4n}i^2=(1)(-1)=-1.

(4) Finally, if you get a remainder of 3, then i^N=i^{4n+3}=i^{4n}i^2i=(1)(-1)(i)=-i.
