if x= 1+a+a^2+a^3............ |a|y= 1+b+b^2+b^3......... |b|then find 1+ab+a^2*b^2+a^3*b^3.........
a> x+y/x+y-1
b>xy/x+y
c> xy/x+y-1
d> none

Hey guys can anyone help me this question. Find the remainder when 51^203 is divided by 7.


my approach: 51= ((49+2)^203)/7
leads to ((2^203))/7
to (2)(7+1)^200/7 = 2 . i know i am missing something can someone point out my error 😃 thanks
