To find the remainder of 2^1000005 divided by 55, Euler's theorem is applied, noting that 2^φ(55) = 1 mod(55). The calculation reveals that φ(55) equals 40, leading to the conclusion that 1000005 mod 40 is 5. Thus, 2^1000005 mod 55 simplifies to 2^5. The final result shows that the remainder is 32.

Homework Statement



i need to obtain the remainder of the divison 2^{1000005} divided by 55

Homework Equations



Euler theorem 2^{\phi (55)}=1 mod(55)



The Attempt at a Solution



my problem is that applying Euler theorem i reach to the conclusion that the remainder is the same as the value 'a' inside the congruence equation

2^{5}=a mod(55) but it would give me that a is negative ¡¡

it gives me a=-23 or similar using congruences or a =32

phi(55) = 4*10=40

So, 2^40 = 1

1000005 = 1000000 + 5 which Modulo 40 is 5

So 2^2000005 = 2^5 = 32.
