PLEASE HELP!Calculate $40^{13} \pmod{85}.$

Mathematics

SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago

In this type of calculations, we decompose 13 by checking the lowest powers of the base, that is 40. for example we check 40^2, or 40^3 and compare it to 85

Notice

40*40*40=64,000

so we check how many time does 85 fit into 64,000:

64,000/85=752.94

85*753=64,005;       64000-64,005=-5

this means that 

40^{3} =-5\pmod{85}

thus

40^{13} =40^{3*4+1}={(40^{3})}^{4}*40=(-5)^{4}*40 \pmod{85}=\\\\625*40\pmod{85}=(7*85+30)*40\pmod{85}=30*40\pmod{85}\\\\=1200\pmod{85}=(14*85+10)\pmod{85}=10\pmod{85}


Answer: 10 (mod85)

Remark, the set of all solutions is:

{......-75, 10, 95, .....}, that is 85k +10

How does knowing the double 6+6=12 help you solve the near double 6+7=13
forsale [732]

Answer:

6 + 7 = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

We know that

6 + 6 = 12

We need this information to evaluate

6+7

The evaluation can be done with the help of using associative property and distributive property.

Associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

The evaluation can be shown as:

6 + 7\\= 6 + 6 + 1\\=(6 + 6) + 1\\= 12 + 1\\=13
