Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial). 
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>

What is the measure of the central angle of a circle with radius 15 ft that intercepts a 10 ft arc?
olga2289 [7]
  • L=10ft
  • R=15ft
  • We have to find theta

\Large{\underline{\sf Solution:-}}

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow L=\dfrac{\Theta}{180}\times \pi r

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 10=\dfrac{\Theta}{180}\times 3.14\times 15

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 10=\dfrac{\Theta}{180}\times 47.1

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow \Theta=\dfrac{10(180)}{47.1}

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow \Theta=\dfrac{1800}{47.1}

\\ \sf\dashrightarrow \Theta=38.2°
