7^4k ≡_____(mod 100) 1)1 2)2 3)3 4)4
Answers
Answer: 7^(4k) ≡ 1 (mod 100)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's try to observe a pattern :-
7⁰ ≡ 1 (mod 100) [since 7⁰ = 1]
7¹ ≡ 7 (mod 100)
7² ≡ 49 (mod 100)
7³ ≡ 343 (mod 100)
=> 7³ ≡ 43 (mod 100)
7⁴ ≡ 301 (mod 100)
=> 7⁴ ≡ 1 (mod 100) .
Note that since the last 2 digits of 7⁴ ends with 01 so it gives 1 (mod 100)
Also note that this table again continues the same way from 7⁵,7⁶,7⁷ and so on , as 7⁰ also gave 1 (mod 100) .
So 7⁵ ≡ 7 (mod 100)
7⁶ ≡ 49 (mod 100)
7⁷ ≡ 43 (mod 100)
7⁸ ≡ 1 (mod 100) again .
Noticing the pattern , we get that 7^(every multiple of 4) ≡ 1 (mod 100) .
Since every multiple of 4 can be represented as 4k , for some number k , we conclude 7^(4k) ≡ 1 (mod 100) .
Hence the correct answer is option 1 .
