Correct answer: A

  1. We need the fractional part of {240315}.\left\{\frac{2^{403}}{15}\right\}.{152403​}.

If we write 2403=15q+r,2^{403}=15q+r,2403=15q+r, where 0≤r<150\le r<150≤r<15, then 240315=q+r15\frac{2^{403}}{15}=q+\frac{r}{15}152403​=q+15r​ and hence the fractional part is {240315}=r15.\left\{\frac{2^{403}}{15}\right\}=\frac{r}{15}.{152403​}=15r​. So we only need to find 2403(mod15).2^{403}\pmod{15}.2403(mod15).

  1. Compute powers of 222 modulo 151515: 21≡2(mod15),2^1\equiv 2 \pmod{15},21≡2(mod15), 22≡4(mod15),2^2\equiv 4 \pmod{15},22≡4(mod15), 23≡8(mod15),2^3\equiv 8 \pmod{15},23≡8(mod15), 24≡16≡1(mod15).2^4\equiv 16\equiv 1 \pmod{15}.24≡16≡1(mod15).

So the powers repeat with period 444.

  1. Reduce the exponent modulo 444: 403≡3(mod4).403\equiv 3 \pmod{4}.403≡3(mod4). Therefore, 2403≡23≡8(mod15).2^{403}\equiv 2^3\equiv 8 \pmod{15}.2403≡23≡8(mod15). Thus the remainder is r=8r=8r=8.

  2. Hence, {240315}=815.\left\{\frac{2^{403}}{15}\right\}=\frac{8}{15}.{152403​}=158​. Given that this fractional part is k15\frac{k}{15}15k​, we get k=8.k=8.k=8.

  3. Checking options:

  • A: 888 ✅
  • B: 141414 ❌
  • C: 666 ❌
  • D: 111 ❌

Therefore, the correct answer is A.
