help pls

If you make a table of congruences modulo 6 of

$$5^n, 8^{n+1}, 13^{n+2}, 14^{n+3)$$

for $n \equiv 0,1,2,3,4,5\pmod6$, you'll see a pattern.  According to my table, half of $$5^n + 8^{n+1} + 13^{n+2} + 14^{n+3)$$ for $1\le n< 100$ are $\equiv 0\pmod6$ and the other half are $\equiv 2\pmod6$.

For conveniece, when creating the table, replace every base $a$ by $a \bmod 6$.
 

For how many positive integers n less than 100 is a multiple of 6?

Lets simplify the expression (mod6)

$5^n\mod6\\ \equiv(-1)^n\mod6\\ $

which is -1 when n is odd and +1 when n is even

$13^{(n+2)}\equiv 1^{(n+2)}\equiv1\mod6$

$8^{(n+1)}\equiv 2^{(n+1)}\equiv2*2^n\mod6\\~\\ 14^{(n+3)}\equiv 2^{(n+3)}\equiv8*2^n\equiv2*2^n\mod6\\~\\ 8^{(n+1)}+14^{(n+3)}=4*2^n\mod6\\~\\ $

so

$5^n + 8^{(n + 1)} + 13^{(n + 2)} + 14^{(n + 3)}\mod6 \\ \equiv 1+ (-1)^n+4*2^n \mod6\\~\\ \text{When n is odd}\equiv 4*2^n \mod6\\~\\ \text{When n is even}\equiv 2+4*2^n \mod6\\~\\ $

consider 4*2^n

So that expression is a multiple of 6 for all even values of n.  So that is 49 values,  2 to 98 inclusive
