Homework Statement



Find the remainder when dividing [tex]38^{213}[/tex] by 13.

Homework Equations


Fermats little theorem: [tex]a^{p-1}\equiv 1 Mod(p)[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried proving this with fermats little theorem or using the more general Euler theorem but I am overlooking some manipulation. To my dismay 12 does not divide 213 and I am not seeing how to put the question in the right form. ANy help is greatly apreciarted.
