Let me see.

Is 46^78+89^67 dividable with 5?

If a number is divisable  by 5 it must end in a 0 or a 5

6^1=6

6^2=36 which ends in a 6

663=36*6 which ends in a 6

6^(any positive integer) must end in 6

6+4=10 (ends in 0) 

6+9=15 (ends in 5)

so the question becomes  does 89^67 end in a 4 or a 9

what could it end in?  9,81,..9,..1..   Ok, it could end in a 1 or a 9  it cannot end in a 4

89^1 ends in a 9

89^2 ends in a 1

89^3 ends in a 9

89^(an odd number) ends in a 9

SO     89^(67) ends in a 9

9+6=15 

So yes that number will be divisable by 5

Is 46^78+89^67 dividable with 5  ?

yes !

4678+8967?=0mod5(4678mod5)178mod5+(8967mod5)167mod5?=0|(46mod5=1) and (89mod5=4=1)178=1 and (1)67=1(1mod5)+(1mod5)=[(11)mod5]=(0mod5)=0q.e.d.
