Answer:

What are the two numbers lying between 60 and 70, each of which exactly divides 2^43-1?

None, because the smallest prime factor of the number in question is 431. However, I can demonstrate how this question could have been solved without calculators, had it been correct.

If a number n divides 243−1 then we have that 243≡1 mod n . This rules out all the even n in the range [60,70] since the remainder of an even number after division with another even number must be even.

The remaining candidates for n are 61, 63, 65, 67 and 69. We can easily rule out 61 and 67 from this list because they are primes and for an odd prime p , we know that 2k≡1 mod p if and only if k≡0 mod (p−1) . In our case 43 is not divisible by either 60 or 66.

Now, 243 can be re-written as 2×647 . For n=63 , we get 2×647 mod 63=2 .

By process of elimination, the answer should have been 65 and 69 but it is not since your question is incorrect.
