SUMMARY

The remainder of \(2^{1000005}\) divided by 55 is 32. This conclusion is derived using Euler's theorem, which states that \(2^{\phi(55)} \equiv 1 \mod(55)\). Since \(\phi(55) = 40\), the exponent can be reduced modulo 40, resulting in \(1000005 \mod 40 = 5\). Therefore, \(2^{1000005} \equiv 2^5 \equiv 32 \mod(55)\).

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
 
Physics news on Phys.org
phi(55) = 4*10=40

So, 2^40 = 1

1000005 = 1000000 + 5 which Modulo 40 is 5

So 2^2000005 = 2^5 = 32.
