Fill in the Blanks

Solution

If 2515 is divided by 13, the remainder is 12.

Explanation: Let 2515 = (26– 1)15

= `""^15"C"_0  (26)^15 (-1)^0 + ""^15"C"_1  (26)^14  (-1)^1 + ""^15"C"_2   (26)^13  (-1)^2 + ... + ""^15"C"_15 (-1)^15`

= `26^15  - 15(26)^14 + .... - 1 - 13 + 13`

= `26^15 - 15 * (26)^14 + ... - 13 + 12`

= `13lambda + 12`

∴ The remainder = 12.
