Correct answer: 1

  1. We are given that when xxx is divided by 444, the remainder is 333.

    So, x=4k+3x = 4k+3x=4k+3 for some integer kkk.

  2. We need the remainder when (2020+x)2022(2020+x)^{2022}(2020+x)2022 is divided by 888.

  3. First simplify the base modulo 888.

    Since 2020 mod 8 = 4, we get 2020+x=2020+(4k+3)=4k+2023.2020+x = 2020 + (4k+3) = 4k+2023.2020+x=2020+(4k+3)=4k+2023.

    Now modulo 888: 2020+x≡4+x(mod8).2020+x \equiv 4 + x \pmod{8}.2020+x≡4+x(mod8).

    But x=4k+3x=4k+3x=4k+3, so modulo 888, xxx can be either:

    • 333 if kkk is even,
    • 777 if kkk is odd.

    Hence: 2020+x≡4+3=7(mod8)2020+x \equiv 4+3=7 \pmod{8}2020+x≡4+3=7(mod8) or 2020+x≡4+7=11≡3(mod8).2020+x \equiv 4+7=11 \equiv 3 \pmod{8}.2020+x≡4+7=11≡3(mod8).

    So the base is congruent to either 333 or 777 modulo 888.

  4. Now raise to the power 202220222022.

    Since 202220222022 is even, we use: 32=9≡1(mod8),3^2=9 \equiv 1 \pmod{8},32=9≡1(mod8), and 72=49≡1(mod8).7^2=49 \equiv 1 \pmod{8}.72=49≡1(mod8).

    Therefore, any even power of 333 or 777 is congruent to 111 modulo 888.

    So, 32022≡1(mod8),3^{2022} \equiv 1 \pmod{8},32022≡1(mod8), 72022≡1(mod8).7^{2022} \equiv 1 \pmod{8}.72022≡1(mod8).

  5. Hence in both possible cases, (2020+x)2022≡1(mod8).(2020+x)^{2022} \equiv 1 \pmod{8}.(2020+x)2022≡1(mod8).

Therefore, the remainder is: 1\boxed{1}1​
