    When 7 84 is divided by 342, what is the remainder?

    A)  0                   

    B)  1                                

    C)  49                  

    D)         341                           

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{7}^{84}}/342={{({{7}^{3}})}^{28}}/({{7}^{3}}-1)\] \[=({{({{7}^{3}})}^{28}}-1+1)/({{7}^{3}}-1)\] \[=({{({{7}^{3}})}^{28}}-1)/({{7}^{3}}-1)+1/({{7}^{3}}-1)\] \[=({{({{7}^{3}})}^{28}}-1)/({{7}^{3}}-1)\] is always divisible as it is in the form of \[({{x}^{n}}-{{y}^{n}})/(x-y).\] hence the remainder is 1.
