Cevap: 8

Cevap

8

Applying the division algorithm,

-82

can be expressed in the form

dq + r

as

9 \times (-10) + 8

. Since the remainder

r

must be greater than or equal to

0

and strictly less than the divisor

9

, the least non-negative remainder is

8

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the dividend and the divisor.

Dividend is

-82

, divisor is

9

.

To apply the formal mathematical definition of division with remainders.

2

Find the largest integer multiple of

9

that is less than or equal to

-82

.

The correct multiple is

-90

(since

-90 \leq -82

).

The remainder must be a strictly non-negative value, meaning the multiple we subtract from the dividend must not exceed the dividend.

3

Calculate the difference between the dividend and this multiple to find the remainder.

-82 - (-90) = 8

.

This difference represents the least non-negative remainder required by the problem.

Determine the positive remainder when the value of $36^{43}$ is divided by $37$ .

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 36

Cevap

36

By the properties of modular arithmetic,

36

is congruent to

-1

modulo

37

. When we raise both sides to the power of

43

, we obtain

36^{43} \equiv (-1)^{43} \pmod{37}

. Since an odd power of

-1

is still

-1

, the expression leaves a remainder of

-1

. To find the standard positive remainder, we simply add the divisor to this result:

-1 + 37 = 36

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the base as a negative remainder modulo the divisor.

When

36

is divided by

37

, the remainder can be expressed as

-1

because

36 = 37 \times 1 - 1

. Therefore, we can state that

36 \equiv -1 \pmod{37}

.

Using a negative remainder with an absolute value of

1

makes calculating large exponentiations trivial.

2

Apply the exponent to the negative remainder and convert back to a positive value.

Calculate

(-1)^{43}

. Since

43

is an odd number,

(-1)^{43} = -1

. To find the valid positive remainder, add the divisor:

-1 + 37 = 36

.

The rules of modular arithmetic allow us to raise the remainder to the given power. However, the final answer must always be a non-negative integer strictly less than the divisor.

Let $N$ be the smallest positive integer that leaves a remainder of $3$ when divided by $11$ , a remainder of $5$ when divided by $13$ , and is exactly divisible by $7$ . What is the remainder when $N^4 + N^2 + 1$ is divided by $17$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 3

Cevap

The remainder when

N^4 + N^2 + 1

is divided by

17

is 3.

Using the Chinese Remainder Theorem, the smallest integer meeting all divisibility constraints is determined to be

N = 707

. Reducing

707

modulo

17

gives

10

. Substituting

10

into the expression

N^4 + N^2 + 1

modulo

17

yields

(10^4 + 10^2 + 1) \pmod{17} = (4 + 15 + 1) \pmod{17} = 20 \pmod{17} = 3

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the given conditions as a system of linear congruences

N \equiv 3 \pmod{11}

,

N \equiv 5 \pmod{13}

, and

N \equiv 0 \pmod{7}

.

Translates the problem statement into standard modular arithmetic notation.

2

Solve the simultaneous congruences for modulo 11 and modulo 13

Let

N = 11k + 3

. Substituting into

11k + 3 \equiv 5 \pmod{13}

gives

11k \equiv 2 \pmod{13} \implies -2k \equiv 2 \pmod{13} \implies k \equiv 12 \pmod{13}

. Thus,

N = 11(13m + 12) + 3 = 143m + 135

.

Combines two modular constraints into a single general expression using the Chinese Remainder Theorem principle.

3

Apply the divisibility condition for 7 to determine the smallest value of

N

143m + 135 \equiv 0 \pmod{7} \implies 3m + 2 \equiv 0 \pmod{7} \implies 3m \equiv 5 \pmod{7} \implies m \equiv 4 \pmod{7}

. For the smallest positive integer, set

m = 4

, so

N = 143(4) + 135 = 707

.

Finds the specific smallest integer

N

that satisfies all three divisor requirements.

4

Reduce

N

modulo 17

707 = 17 \times 41 + 10 \implies N \equiv 10 \pmod{17}

.

Simplifies the base before evaluating higher powers.

5

Calculate the polynomial expression

(N^4 + N^2 + 1) \pmod{17}

N^2 \equiv 10^2 = 100 \equiv 15 \equiv -2 \pmod{17}

, and

N^4 \equiv (-2)^2 = 4 \pmod{17}

. Therefore,

N^4 + N^2 + 1 \equiv 4 + 15 + 1 = 20 \equiv 3 \pmod{17}

.

Uses modular exponentiation properties to efficiently evaluate the final remainder.

Cevap: 15

Cevap

The remainder when

15^{100} + 19^{100}

is divided by

17

is

15

.

Reducing the bases modulo 17 gives

15 \equiv -2

and

19 \equiv 2

. Since

100

is even,

(-2)^{100} + 2^{100} = 2 \cdot 2^{100} = 2^{101}

. By Fermat's Little Theorem (

2^{16} \equiv 1 \pmod{17}

),

2^{101} \equiv 2^5 = 32 \equiv 15 \pmod{17}

. Thus, the correct remainder is 15.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Reduce the base numbers modulo 17

15 \equiv -2 \pmod{17}

and

19 \equiv 2 \pmod{17}

Using negative remainders simplifies power calculations.

2

Rewrite the expression using modular congruence

15^{100} + 19^{100} \equiv (-2)^{100} + 2^{100} = 2^{100} + 2^{100} = 2 \times 2^{100} = 2^{101} \pmod{17}

Since the exponent

100

is even,

(-2)^{100} = 2^{100}

.

3

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem to simplify the exponent

2^{16} \equiv 1 \pmod{17}

17 is prime and

\gcd(2, 17) = 1

.

4

Divide the exponent 101 by 16 to find the remaining power

101 = 16 \times 6 + 5 \implies 2^{101} \equiv (2^{16})^6 \times 2^5 \equiv 1^6 \times 32 \equiv 32 \pmod{17}

Any integer power of 1 is 1 under modular arithmetic.

5

Compute the final positive remainder

32 = 17 \times 1 + 15 \implies 32 \equiv 15 \pmod{17}

(or

-2 + 17 = 15

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 19

Cevap

The correct remainder is 19.

The correct answer is found by applying modular arithmetic properties. First, simplify the base:

47 \equiv -1 \pmod{48}

. Raising this to an odd power gives

47^{55} \equiv (-1)^{55} = -1 \pmod{48}

. Substituting this back into the expression yields

14 \times (-1) - 63

. We can also simplify

63 \pmod{48}

to

15

. The expression then becomes

-14 - 15 = -29 \pmod{48}

. Because standard remainders cannot be negative, we add the divisor (48) to find the true positive remainder:

-29 + 48 = 19

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Simplify the base of the exponent modulo 48.

47 \equiv -1 \pmod{48}

Using negative remainders makes calculating large powers manageable.

2

Evaluate the exponentiated term modulo 48.

(-1)^{55} = -1

An odd power of -1 remains -1.

3

Simplify the constant term modulo 48.

63 \equiv 15 \pmod{48}

To keep all terms within the modulo base before finalizing the expression.

4

Substitute the simplified values back into the expression.

14 \times (-1) - 15 = -14 - 15 = -29

To find the overall remainder of the expression, which currently results in a negative value.

5

Convert the negative remainder to a valid positive remainder.

-29 + 48 = 19

Remainders must be strictly positive integers less than the divisor.

7

To find the remainder of

11^{2025} - 16^{2025}

divided by

9

, we first simplify the bases using modular arithmetic:

11 \equiv 2 \pmod 9

and

16 \equiv -2 \pmod 9

. Next, we evaluate the powers. We know

2^3 = 8 \equiv -1 \pmod 9

. By rewriting the exponent,

2^{2025} = (2^3)^{675} \equiv (-1)^{675} = -1 \pmod 9

. For the second term,

(-2)^{2025} = - (2^{2025}) \equiv -(-1) = 1 \pmod 9

. Subtracting the two terms yields

-1 - 1 = -2

. Because a remainder must be positive, we add the divisor to the negative result:

-2 + 9 = 7

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Reduce the base numbers modulo 9.

11 \equiv 2 \pmod 9

and

16 \equiv 7 \equiv -2 \pmod 9

.

Reducing the bases simplifies the expression to

2^{2025} - (-2)^{2025} \pmod 9

.

2

Determine the cyclicity pattern for powers of 2 modulo 9.

2^1=2

,

2^2=4

,

2^3=8 \equiv -1 \pmod 9

.

Finding a power that leaves a remainder of

1

or

-1

allows us to easily compute extremely large exponents.

3

Evaluate the first term

2^{2025} \pmod 9

.

2^{2025} = (2^3)^{675} \equiv (-1)^{675} = -1 \pmod 9

Breaking the exponent

2025

4

Evaluate the second term

(-2)^{2025} \pmod 9

.

(-2)^{2025} = - (2^{2025}) \equiv -(-1) = 1 \pmod 9

An odd power preserves the negative sign, allowing substitution of the result from the previous step.

5

Subtract the remainders and map to a positive equivalent.

(-1) - 1 = -2

8

The correct remainder when

37^{105}

13

is

8

. This is found by reducing the base

37

to

-2

modulo

13

, applying Fermat's Little Theorem to reduce the exponent

105

to

9

modulo

12

, and computing

(-2)^9 \pmod{13} = -18 \equiv 8 \pmod{13}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Formulate the problem using modular arithmetic.

Evaluate

37^{105} \pmod{13}

.

Since tokens are distributed equally among 13 nodes, the tokens sent to the burn address represent the remainder when the total is divided by 13.

2

Simplify the base of the exponent.

37 = 13 \times 2 + 11

. Using a negative remainder,

11 \equiv -2 \pmod{13}

.

Working with a smaller absolute base value like -2 makes successive exponentiation much easier than working with 11 or 37.

3

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem.

Since 13 is prime,

(-2)^{12} \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

.

This theorem allows us to significantly reduce large exponents by finding their remainder when divided by

p-1

.

4

Reduce the exponent using the theorem.

105 = 12 \times 8 + 9

. Thus,

(-2)^{105} = ((-2)^{12})^8 \times (-2)^9 \equiv 1^8 \times (-2)^9 \equiv (-2)^9 \pmod{13}

.

The multiples of 12 in the exponent evaluate to 1 modulo 13, leaving only the remainder of the exponent.

5

Calculate the final reduced power.

(-2)^4 = 16 \equiv 3 \pmod{13}

. Therefore,

(-2)^8 = 3^2 = 9 \pmod{13}

. Finally,

(-2)^9 = 9 \times (-2) = -18 \pmod{13}

.

Breaking the calculation into smaller powers prevents the need to calculate very large numbers directly.

6

Convert the negative result to a positive remainder.

-18 = 13 \times (-2) + 8

. The positive remainder is

8

.

Physical quantities, such as the number of leftover tokens, must be represented by a positive remainder.

4(2) - 6(7) - 2(4) = -42

. Because a remainder must be positive, adding the next highest multiple of 17 (which is

17 \times 3 = 51

) to -42 gives the final valid remainder of 9.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the remainder of each base when divided by 17.

36 \equiv 2 \pmod{17}

,

58 \equiv 7 \pmod{17}

, and

89 \equiv 4 \pmod{17}

.

Reducing bases before dealing with large exponents simplifies the modular arithmetic calculation.

2

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem to simplify the exponent.

Since 17 is a prime number,

a^{16} \equiv 1 \pmod{17}

. The exponent is

2033 = 16 \times 127 + 1

, meaning

a^{2033} \equiv a^1 \pmod{17}

.

Fermat's Little Theorem allows us to reduce massive exponents by dividing them by

(p-1)

and keeping only the remainder.

3

Substitute the reduced bases and exponents into the original expression.

P \equiv 4(2^1) - 6(7^1) - 2(4^1) \pmod{17}

, which evaluates to

8 - 42 - 8 = -42

.

This step calculates the combined overall remainder before adjusting for the strict definition of a positive modulo.

4

Convert the negative result to a valid positive remainder.

-42 \equiv -42 + 51 = 9 \pmod{17}

.

A remainder must be a non-negative integer strictly less than the divisor (17). Adding the next highest multiple of 17 (which is 51) provides the correct positive remainder.

In a centralized database architecture, data records are distributed across $17$ server nodes numbered from $0$ to $16$ . A record with a numerical key $K$ is assigned to a node using the hash function $H(K) = K \pmod{17}$ , which always yields a positive remainder. If a specific batch of records is assigned a master key given by the expression $K = 2^{200} - 75$ , which server node will process this batch?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 11

Cevap

The batch of records will be processed by server node 11.

By applying modular arithmetic rules, the expression

(2^{200} - 75) \pmod{17}

simplifies individually to

(1 - 7) = -6

. Because node numbers in this system must be positive, adding the divisor 17 to -6 provides the correct positive remainder, which is 11.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the mathematical goal of the problem.

Calculate

(2^{200} - 75) \pmod{17}

and ensure the final result is a positive integer between 0 and 16.

The server nodes are assigned strictly based on the positive remainder when the key is divided by 17.

2

Find the remainder of the exponential term

2^{200}

divided by 17.

2^4 = 16 \equiv -1 \pmod{17}

. Raising this to the 50th power gives

(2^4)^{50} \equiv (-1)^{50} = 1 \pmod{17}

.

Finding a power of the base that is 1 or -1 modulo the divisor simplifies extremely large exponent calculations.

3

Find the remainder of the constant term 75 divided by 17.

75 = 17 \times 4 + 7

, so

75 \equiv 7 \pmod{17}

.

Each term in a modular arithmetic expression can and should be reduced individually.

4

Combine the reduced terms to find the overall remainder.

1 - 7 = -6 \pmod{17}

.

Substitute the individual reduced remainders back into the original expression

K = 2^{200} - 75

.

5

Convert the negative remainder into a valid positive node number.

-6 + 17 = 11

.

A remainder of -6 indicates the value is 6 units short of a full multiple of 17. The equivalent positive remainder is found by adding the divisor.

Cevap: 16

Cevap

16

The correct remainder is found by applying Fermat's Little Theorem to reduce the large exponent, yielding an intermediate calculation of -22. Converting this negative value to a proper positive remainder modulo 19 gives exactly 16.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Simplify the base of the exponent modulo 19.

17 \equiv -2 \pmod{19}

Working with a smaller absolute value simplifies subsequent exponentiation steps.

2

Apply Fermat's Little Theorem to identify the cyclicity.

a^{18} \equiv 1 \pmod{19}

for any integer

a

not divisible by 19.

Since 19 is a prime number, the remainders of powers will repeat in cycles of 18.

3

Reduce the large exponent

73

using the identified cyclicity.

73 = 18 \times 4 + 1

, which means

(-2)^{73} \equiv (-2)^1 \pmod{19}

Because the powers cycle every 18, only the remainder of the exponent divided by 18 affects the final result.

4

Multiply the reduced exponential term by the leading coefficient.

11 \times (-2) = -22

The original mathematical expression contains a coefficient of 11.

5

Convert the negative intermediate result to a valid positive remainder.

-22 \equiv -22 + 2 \times 19 = -22 + 38 = 16 \pmod{19}

By standard definition, a remainder must be a positive integer strictly less than the divisor.

By applying the properties of modular arithmetic, we determine that

. Raising these to the 101st power yields

-1

and

-1

. Subtracting 25 gives a total of

1

Find the remainder of the bases when divided by 16.

47 \equiv -1 \pmod{16}

and

111 \equiv -1 \pmod{16}

.

Using negative remainders (since

47 = 16 \times 3 - 1

and

111 = 16 \times 7 - 1

) significantly simplifies the calculation of large powers.

2

Substitute the simplified bases into the original expression.

(47)^{101} + (111)^{101} - 25 \equiv (-1)^{101} + (-1)^{101} - 25 \pmod{16}

.

The properties of modular arithmetic allow replacing bases with their congruent values modulo the divisor.

3

Evaluate the exponents and the constant term.

(-1) + (-1) - 25 = -27

.

An odd power of a negative number remains negative, so

(-1)^{101} = -1

.

4

Find the equivalent positive remainder for -27 modulo 16.

-27 \equiv 5 \pmod{16}

Adding multiples of 16 (in this case,

16 \times 2 = 32

-27

yields a positive remainder in the valid range of

By applying the property of modular arithmetic, we know that

28 \equiv -1 \pmod{29}

. Substituting this into the expression simplifies the exponent:

28^{67} \equiv (-1)^{67} \pmod{29}

. Because 67 is an odd integer,

(-1)^{67} = -1

. The expression becomes

7 + 10 \times (-1)

. Following the order of operations, the multiplication is resolved first to yield

-10

, and then the addition gives

7 - 10 = -3

. Finally, to find the equivalent positive remainder modulo 29, the divisor is added to the negative result:

29 - 3 = 26

.
