Options for question 32

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. 5=4+15 = 4 + 1, so 5≡1(mod4)5 \equiv 1 \pmod{4}.

  2. Then 5100≡1100=1(mod4)5^{100} \equiv 1^{100} = 1 \pmod{4}.

Worth noting

0 would need 4 to divide 51005^{100}, but 51005^{100} is odd.
