2^8(9*17*15*7*13*3*11*5)mod2^9 = 1*2^8
hence 2^9k + 2^8 = 17m
remainder = 2^12 + 2^8 = 2^8(17) * 9!
hence total remainder = 2^8(17) * 9! +9!*17
= 17*9!(1+256) = 257*9!*17???
no..for the second ques..ans is 17*9!..


The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come..

srry did a mistake here instead of 2^4 it will be 2^5 hence the remainder for the second part will be 0
hence the total remainder = 17*9!.

will solve the first question later...u can use euler's theorem in there./just divide by 1000

Another one:

N is a three digit no. written in base 10. N1 is the same no. written in base 9 and N2 in base11. Whats is the probability that N1 and N2 are also three digit numbers ?

nt sure may be 608/900

(88 in base 9 = 728
100 in base 11 = 121

728-121 +1 = 608 nos. possible

range:-
121 <= N <= 728
probability = 608/900

last 3 digits are :- 512
