MCQ
The least remainder when ${17^{30}}$ is divided by $ 5$ is
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • $4$

$4$
d
(d) $17 = 2$ (mod $5$) ${(17)^5} = {(2)^5}\,({\rm{mod 5)}}$ $= 2$ (mod $5$)

==> ${({17^5})^6} = {(2)^6}$(mod $5$) 

==> ${(17)^{30}} = 4$ (mod $5$)Hence required remainder $= 4.$
