Q:

How many remainders are possible if $16^{n}$ is divided by 9 for any positive integral value of n ?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

When $16^{n}$ is divided by 9, we have

$\frac{16^{1}}{9}$ , remainder = 7

$\frac{16^{2}}{9}$ , remainder = 4

$\frac{16^{3}}{9}$ , remainder = 1

$\frac{16^{4}}{9}$ , remainder = 7

$\frac{16^{5}}{9}$ , remainder = 4

$\frac{16^{6}}{9}$ , remainder = 1

So, we have cyclicity of 3 factors i.e 7,4,1.

Hence only 3 remainders are possible.
