Homework Help Overview

The problem involves finding the remainder of \(10^{100}\) when divided by 1001, which falls under modular arithmetic in number theory.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the remainder of smaller powers of 10 modulo 1001, specifically \(10^3\) and its implications for \(10^{100}\). There is an exploration of the relationship between these powers and the modular results, with some questioning the validity of assumptions made about equivalences.

Discussion Status

There is ongoing exploration of the connections between different powers of 10 modulo 1001. Some participants have provided insights into the calculations, while others are questioning the correctness of the conclusions drawn from these calculations. The discussion is active, with multiple interpretations being considered.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the implications of their calculations and seek clarification on the connections between different modular results. There is a focus on ensuring that the results align with the properties of modular arithmetic.

struggling to understand how to solve this question and would be extrememly grateful if someone who understood offered me a hand:

need to find the remainder of gogool divided by 1001. i.e 10^100mod1001. any assistance would be much welcomed as i have no hope figuring it out myself

The Attempt at a Solution

What is the remainder of 10^3 when divided by 1001?
 
firstly thanks very much for responding. in regards to ur question the remainder would be a 1000. i assume you are implying that this is also the remainder for 10^100 mod 1001 though i can't figure out why that is the case and ift its not too much trouble would you please explain cos I am too stupid to be frank to see the connection :)

I doubt that Wingeer is implying that. What he might be getting at is the following:
1000 ≡ -1 mod 1001
and
10100 = 10·(103)33
 
thanks for clarifyijng that SammyS. so to find the remainer from here using that result would the following be the correctway to do it.
10^3= 1000≡-1mod1001
therefore (10^3)^11=10^33=-1mod1001
(10^33)^3=10^99=1mod1001
therefore10^100=-10mod1001

from this would it be correct that the remainder is 10?


if anyone wants to answer this question for me i would sincerely appreciate it

It is correct. However I would have written it a bit different.
10^{1000}=10 \cdot (10^3)^{33} \equiv 10 \cdot (-1)^{33} = -10 (mod 1001)

No, that's not the correct remainder since 10≢-10 (mod 1001).
 
Find a positive integer n, such that n < 1001 and n ≡ -10 mod 1001
