1.) What is the remainder when 5 to the 999,999th power is divided by 7?

 

2.) A palindrome is a number that reads the same forward and backward. The largest possible 4-digit palindrome in base 3 can be expressed as a 3-digit palindrome in another base b>2. What is b?

The largest 4 digit palindrome in base 3 is 2222. 

Trying all the bases, in base 6, 2222 (base 3) = 212 (base 6).

You're welcome. :))

As for the first one, try using mod 7. 

5, 25, 125, 625

5, 4, 6, 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6, 2, 3, 1...

So it repeats every 6. 

Can you take it from here?

For  n ≥  1

 

5 ^(3*2n) mod  7 =   1

 

5^(3(2n + 1) )  mod 7  =  6

 

5^(3 * (2 * 166666 + 1) )  mod 7  =  6

 

5^ ( 3  * 333333)  mod 7  =  6

 

5^(999999)  mod 7   =  6

 

 

cool cool cool
