Question

when 2^256 is divisible by 17 the remainder would be
a) 1
b) 16
c) 14
d) NONE OF THESE

ANSWER IT WITH EXPLANATION :)​

Answer 1

By remainder theorem when f(x) is divided by (x+a) the remainder =f (−a)

Here, f(x)=(2⁴)64 (64 --> power) and x=2⁴

& a=1

∴ Remainder =f(−1)=(−1)64 (that's the power 64)=1
