For a certain positive integer n, n2 gives a remainder of 4 when divided by 5, and n3 gives a remainder of 2 when divided by 5. What remainder does n give when divided by 5?

 

Please help! smiley

 

I tried trial and error, but that didn't work! An explanation would be appreciated! smiley

Did you try:  (5 + 3)^2 mod 5      =

                        (5 + 3)^3 mod 5   =

                        (5 + 3) mod 5       =
