Step-by-step explanation:
the remainder obtained is 1
Question :---
- Find the Remainder when 16^(2016) is Divided by 9?
Solution :--
Lets Try to Solve the Problem in a simple way :---
16 can be written as = (4)²
So, Question becomes now = [ (4)² ]^2016
→ (4)^4032 [ as (a^b)^c = a^(bc) ]
or,
→ [(4)³]^(1344) [ as 3*1344 = 4032 ]
→ (64)^1344
So, we can write ,
=> 16^(2016) / 9 = (64)^1344 / 9
Now, we know that , when 64 is divided by 9 , we get remainder as 1 . ( 9*7 + 1)
So,
→ (64)^1344 / 9
→ (1)^1344/ 9
→ 1 Remainder .. (a) (Ans)..

Lets Try To solve it with Euler's Theoram Now :---
Euler’s theorem states that if p and n are coprime positive integers, than,
P φ (n) = 1 (mod n), where Φn = n*(1-1/a)*(1-1/b)
→ 16^(2016) /9
16 and 9 are Relatively Prime number, So,
→ φ (9) = 9 * ( 1- 1/3)
→ φ (9) = 9 * 2/3
φ (9) = 6
Hence ,
→ 16^6 = 1 (mod 9) .
Now, Question Can be written as :---
→ (16)^2016 = 1 (mod 9)
Or,
→ (16^6)^336 = 1 (mod 9)
