Divisibility Rule for Algebraic Function

( an – bn ) is always divisible by (a – b) whereas ( an + bn ) is divisible by (a + b) only when n is odd. See the following image for various expansion of the terms.

Divisibility Rule for Algebraic Function

Ans: (a) n is any natural number

Explanation:

( xn – an ) is always divisible by (x – a).

Ans: (d) 48

Explanation:

26n – 42n = (26)n – (42)n is always divisible by
26 – 42 = 64 – 16 = 48

Ans: (a) 0

Explanation:

( an + bn ) is divisible by (a + b) when n is odd

Hence, 22229999 + 55559999 is divisible by
2222 + 5555 = 7777, this is multiple of 7

Hence, remainder = 0

Ans: (a) 0

Explanation:

270 + 370 = (22)35 + (32)35 = 435 + 935

We know, for n = odd
( an + bn ) is always divisible by (a + b)

Now, 4 + 9 = 13

So, remainder = 0

\begin{aligned} \frac{2^{70}+3^{70}}{13} &= \frac{2^{10}+3^{10}}{13} \text{\qquad [By applying Fermat's Theorem]}\\ &= \frac{1024+(3^3)^3\times3}{13}\\ &= \frac{23+(26+1)^3\times 3}{13}\\ &= \frac{23+3}{13}\\ &= \frac{26}{13}\\ &= \frac{0}{13} \end{aligned}

Ans: (a) 0

Explanation:

( an + bn + cn + dn ) is divisible by (a + b + c + d) when n is odd

Here, n = 3 (odd)

16 + 17 + 18 + 19 = 70

Hence, remainder = 0

    What i don’t understood is in truth how you are not really much more neatly-liked than you might be right now. You are very intelligent. You already know thus significantly in terms of this subject, made me individually believe it from so many numerous angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be interested until it is something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs nice. Always maintain it up!
