@shivam,
how 888...ending with 8 zeroes,divisible by something that ends with 10 zeroes.
Also,could you please explain how 888...880times is divisible by 45?
Thanks.

@ Nidhi and @Shashank

I am not completely sure but still posting my answers

We have to find 888888888888......(888 times) by 45!

so finding the number of zeros in the 45! that is
[45/5]+[45/25]= 10

so we can write 888888888888......(888 times) as
= 888888888888......(878 times)*10^10 + 8888..(10times)

as we can write 8888 as 8800+88

so in this case first term would be divisible and hence only the second term will be needeed the remainder

so 8888..(10 times) mod 45!
i tried using the individual division method and the same remainder is coming

8888..(10 times) as the answer

@ Nidhi there is no as rule for finding the remainder in case there is factoraila in the denominator so i just tried to break it up and found the remiander by individual methods...

correct me if i am wrong

Shivam,i dint understand that step where you said that,
888....880 times*10^8 is divisible by 45!.Is there any shortcut to find it.
Because,45! Has 10 zeroes and the numerator is with 8 zeroes.So,two zeroes remain.
Rest is correct.

answer for the 1st is 64
its very easy
find out the remainder when the number (101*102*103*197*198*199) is divided by hundered
so finally it somces out to be 1 x 2 x 3 x -3 x -2 x -1 which is equal to -36
thus positive remainder is 64..
so answer is 64

try and solve the 2nd one..

cheers

just take the last digit of each number and keep on multiplying and the remainder comes out to be 64
or divide each term individually by 100 and multiply the remainder answer 64

same for the second one answer is 76
