Question

When $$2^{301}$$ is divided by 5, the least positive remainder is

A. 4
B. 8
C. 2  
D. 6
Answer :   2
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {2^4} \equiv 1\left( {\bmod 5} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {{2^4}} \right)^{75}} \equiv {\left( 1 \right)^{75}}\left( {\bmod 5} \right) \cr & {\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{., }}{2^{300}} \equiv 1\left( {\bmod 5} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow {2^{300}} \times 2 \equiv \left( {1.2} \right)\left( {\bmod 5} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow {2^{301}} \equiv 2\left( {\bmod 5} \right) \cr} $$
$$\therefore $$ Least positive remainder is 2.
