Correct answer: 1
-
We are given that when is divided by , the remainder is .
So, for some integer .
-
We need the remainder when is divided by .
-
First simplify the base modulo .
Since 2020 mod 8 = 4, we get
Now modulo :
But , so modulo , can be either:
- if is even,
- if is odd.
Hence: or
So the base is congruent to either or modulo .
-
Now raise to the power .
Since is even, we use: and
Therefore, any even power of or is congruent to modulo .
So,
-
Hence in both possible cases,
Therefore, the remainder is:
