Correct answer: 1

  1. Interpret the expression

The given expression is 3×722+2×1022−443\times 7^{22} + 2\times 10^{22} - 4^43×722+2×1022−44

We need the remainder when this is divided by 181818.

So we must compute 3⋅722+2⋅1022−44(mod18).3\cdot 7^{22} + 2\cdot 10^{22} - 4^4 \pmod{18}.3⋅722+2⋅1022−44(mod18).


  1. Find 722(mod18)7^{22} \pmod{18}722(mod18)

Notice: 72=49≡13(mod18)7^2 = 49 \equiv 13 \pmod{18}72=49≡13(mod18) Then, 73=7⋅72≡7⋅13=91≡1(mod18)7^3 = 7\cdot 7^2 \equiv 7\cdot 13 = 91 \equiv 1 \pmod{18}73=7⋅72≡7⋅13=91≡1(mod18)

So powers of 777 repeat with period 333 modulo 181818: 73≡1(mod18)7^3 \equiv 1 \pmod{18}73≡1(mod18)

Now, 22=3⋅7+122 = 3\cdot 7 + 122=3⋅7+1 Hence, 722=(73)7⋅7≡17⋅7=7(mod18)7^{22} = (7^3)^7\cdot 7 \equiv 1^7\cdot 7 = 7 \pmod{18}722=(73)7⋅7≡17⋅7=7(mod18)

Therefore, 3×722≡3×7=21≡3(mod18).3\times 7^{22} \equiv 3\times 7 = 21 \equiv 3 \pmod{18}.3×722≡3×7=21≡3(mod18).


  1. Find 1022(mod18)10^{22} \pmod{18}1022(mod18)

First compute a few powers: 102=100≡10(mod18)10^2 = 100 \equiv 10 \pmod{18}102=100≡10(mod18) So once we reach 10110^1101, the same value repeats: 10n≡10(mod18)for all n≥110^n \equiv 10 \pmod{18} \quad \text{for all } n\ge 110n≡10(mod18)for all n≥1

Thus, 1022≡10(mod18)10^{22} \equiv 10 \pmod{18}1022≡10(mod18) Therefore, 2×1022≡2×10=20≡2(mod18).2\times 10^{22} \equiv 2\times 10 = 20 \equiv 2 \pmod{18}.2×1022≡2×10=20≡2(mod18).


  1. Find 44(mod18)4^4 \pmod{18}44(mod18)

Compute directly: 42=16≡−2(mod18)4^2 = 16 \equiv -2 \pmod{18}42=16≡−2(mod18) 44=(42)2≡(−2)2=4(mod18)4^4 = (4^2)^2 \equiv (-2)^2 = 4 \pmod{18}44=(42)2≡(−2)2=4(mod18)

So, −44≡−4(mod18).-4^4 \equiv -4 \pmod{18}.−44≡−4(mod18).


  1. Combine all parts

Now add the congruences: 3×722+2×1022−44≡3+2−4=1(mod18)3\times 7^{22} + 2\times 10^{22} - 4^4 \equiv 3 + 2 - 4 = 1 \pmod{18}3×722+2×1022−44≡3+2−4=1(mod18)

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


  1. Compare with stored answer

Stored correct answer: 151515

Our derived answer is 111.

These do not match. The stored answer appears to be incorrect for the expression 3×722+2×1022−44.3\times 7^{22} + 2\times 10^{22} - 4^4.3×722+2×1022−44.
