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>

-9√(2^2 * 3) - 24√2

-18√3 - 24√2

or

6(-3√3 - 4√2)

f) -5√2 (3 + 2√2 - 6 - 1)

-5√2(-4 + 2√2)

20√2 - 20

or
