Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

To find the remainder when (44)2(44)^2 is divided by 9, find what remainder 44 gives when divided by 9.

Dividing 44 by 9:

9×4=369 \times 4 = 36

44−36=844 - 36 = 8

So 44 leaves remainder 8 when divided by 9.


When finding remainders, 44 can be replaced with 8 (its remainder) to get the same final answer.

Square this remainder:

82=648^2 = 64


Find the remainder when 64 is divided by 9.

Dividing 64 by 9:

9×7=639 \times 7 = 63

64−63=164 - 63 = 1

So 64 leaves remainder 1 when divided by 9.


The remainder of a square equals the square of the remainder.

Remainder of (44)2÷9(44)^2 \div 9 = Remainder of (8)2÷9(8)^2 \div 9 = Remainder of 64÷9=164 \div 9 = 1

Therefore, the remainder is 1.
