Question 13
When a natural number is divided by $$11$$, the remainder is $$4$$. When the square of this number is divided by $$11$$, the remainder is
Solution
Let the number be $$n$$
If $$n$$ leaves a remainder of $$4$$ when divided by $$11$$, than we can write $$n$$ as:
$$n=11k+4$$ , where $$k$$ is some natural number
Now, squaring both sides
$$n^2=121k^2+16+88k$$
$$n^2=121k^2+88k+11+5$$
$$n^2=11(11k^2+8k+1)+5$$
So, we can see that now if $$n^2$$ is divided by $$11$$, the leftover $$5$$ becomes the new remainder.
