What is the remainder when \(17^{200}\) is divided by 18?

  • A.1
  • B.2
  • C.16
  • D.17

Answer: A

We can use the remainder theorem. \(17\) can be written as \((18 - 1)\). So, we need to find the remainder of \((18-1)^{200} \div 18\).

Using the binomial expansion, every term except the last one will have 18 as a factor. The last term is \((-1)^{200}\).

\((-1)^{200} = 1\).

So the remainder is 1.
