If the remainder when x is divided by 4 is 3, then the remainder when (2020 + x)2022 is divided by 8 is __________.
Answer (integer)
1
Solution
Let x = 4k + 3<br><br>(2020 + x)<sup>2022</sup><br><br>= (2020 + 4k + 3)<sup>2022</sup><br><br>= (4(505) + 4k + 3)<sup>2022</sup>
<br><br>= (4P + 3)<sup>2022</sup><br><br>= (4P + 4 $-$ 1)<sup>2022</sup><br><br>= (4A $-$ 1)<sup>2022</sup><br><br><sup>2022</sup>C<sub>0</sub>(4A)<sup>0</sup>($-$1)<sup>2022</sup> + <sup>2022</sup>C<sub>1</sub>(4A)<sup>1</sup>($-$1)<sup>2021</sup> + ......
<br><br>= 1 + 2022(4A)(-1) + .....
<br><br>= 1 + 8$\lambda$<br><br>$\therefore$ Reminder is 1.
