The remainder when 2023 2023 is divided by 35 is

The remainder when 20232023 is divided by 35 is

Solution

To find the remainder when 20232023 is divided by 35 we will use binomial expansion,

Now rewriting above expression we get,

20232023=2030-72023 

2030-72023=C0202320302023-C1202320302022×7+.....-72023

2030-72023=35k-72023kZ.

as 2030 is multiple of 35

Now remainder will be -72023. Rewriting -72023, we get

-72023=-73674×7

=-73674×7=-343674×7

=-343674×7=-350-7674×7

=35k1+7674×-7

So, again using binomial we get remainder as -7×7674

Again rewriting the expression as 

-7×7674=-7675

-7675=-73225=350-775

Again using binomial we get remainder as 

350-775=-775=-350-725

Again using binomial we get remainder as 725.

Now again rewriting 738×7=350-78×7

Using binomial remainder will be 79 which can be written as 733=350-73,

Using binomial remainder will be -73 which can be written as -343, so remainder will be 350-343=7,

Hence, the remainder when 20232023 when divided by 35 is 7.
