Question 6

If x = $$(16^3 + 17^3+ 18^3+ 19^3 )$$, then x divided by 70 leaves a remainder of

Solution

We know that x = $$16^3 + 17^3 + 18^3 + 19^3 = (16^3 + 19^3) + (17^3 + 18^3)$$

= $$(16 + 19)(16^2 - 16 * 19 + 19^2) + (17 + 18)(17^2 - 17 * 18 + 18^2)$$ = 35 × odd + 35 × odd = 35 × even = 35 × (2k)

=> x = 70k

=> Remainder when divided by 70 is 0.
