Solution
Powers of 2 follow a repeating pattern for unit digits:
(unit digit: 2)
(unit digit: 4)
(unit digit: 8)
(unit digit: 6)
(unit digit: 2)
The pattern {2, 4, 8, 6} repeats every 4 powers.
To find the unit digit of :
remainder
The remainder indicates position 3 in the pattern, which is 8.
(A) matches with (IV) = 8
Any power of 11 always ends in 1:
(ends in 1)
(ends in 1)
(ends in 1)
This occurs because always.
Therefore, has unit digit 1.
(B) matches with (II) = 1
Using modular arithmetic, find what each number leaves when divided by 23:
remainder , so
remainder , so
remainder , so
Multiply the remainders:
Divide 48 by 23:
remainder
(C) matches with (I) = 2
Find the pattern of powers of 7 modulo 5:
, remainder when divided by 5 is
, remainder when divided by 5 is
, remainder when divided by 5 is
, remainder when divided by 5 is
has remainder (pattern repeats)
The pattern {2, 4, 3, 1} repeats every 4 powers.
To find remainder for :
remainder
Position 2 in the pattern corresponds to 4.
(D) matches with (III) = 4
Final matching:
(A) → (IV) 8
(B) → (II) 1
(C) → (I) 2
(D) → (III) 4
