Answer:
Remainder = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since
29 = 2 (mod 9)
By taking power 6 in both sides we get
29^6 = 2^6 (mod 9)
29^6 = 64 (mod 9) = 1 (mod 9)
since
31 * 109 =3379
And 6*563 = 3378
So taking the power of 563 on congruence we get
(29^6)^563 = (1)^563 (mod 9) = 1 (mod 9)
29^3378 = 1 (mod 9)
NOW multiplying by 29 on both sides we get
(29^3378)×26 = 1×29 (mod 9) = 29 (mod 9) = 2 (mod 9)
So
29^3379 = 2 (mod 9)
Thus
{(29^31)^109} = 2 (mod 9)
Thus
when we divide the (29^31)^109 by 9 we get remainder 2
