Problem

What is the remainder when $2^{202} +202$ is divided by $2^{101}+2^{51}+1$?

$\textbf{(A) } 100 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 101 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 200 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 201 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 202$

Solution 1

Let $x=2^{50}$. We are now looking for the remainder of $\frac{4x^4+202}{2x^2+2x+1}$.

We could proceed with polynomial division, but the denominator looks awfully similar to the Sophie Germain Identity, which states that \[a^4+4b^4=(a^2+2b^2+2ab)(a^2+2b^2-2ab)\]

Let's use the identity, with $a=1$ and $b=x$, so we have

\[1+4x^4=(1+2x^2+2x)(1+2x^2-2x)\]

Rearranging, we can see that this is exactly what we need:

\[\frac{4x^4+1}{2x^2+2x+1}=2x^2-2x+1\]

So \[\frac{4x^4+202}{2x^2+2x+1} = \frac{4x^4+1}{2x^2+2x+1} +\frac{201}{2x^2+2x+1}\]

Since the first half divides cleanly as shown earlier, the remainder must be $\boxed{\textbf{(D) }201}$ ~quacker88

Solution 2 (MAA Original Solution)

\begin{align*} 2^{202} + 202 &= (2^{101})^2 + 2\cdot 2^{101} + 1 - 2\cdot 2^{101} + 201\\ &= (2^{101} + 1)^2 - 2^{102} + 201\\ &= (2^{101} - 2^{51} + 1)(2^{101} + 2^{51} + 1) + 201. \end{align*}

Thus, we see that the remainder is surely $\boxed{\textbf{(D) } 201}$

Solution 3

We let \[x = 2^{50}\] and \[2^{202} + 202 = 4x^{4} + 202\]. Next we write \[2^{101} + 2^{51} + 1 = 2x^{2} + 2x + 1\]. We know that \[4x^{4} + 1 = (2x^{2} + 2x + 1)(2x^{2} - 2x + 1)\] by the Sophie Germain identity so to find \[4x^{4} + 202,\] we find that \[4x^{4} + 202 = 4x^{4} + 201 + 1\] which shows that the remainder is $\boxed{\textbf{(D) } 201}$

Solution 4

We let $x=2^{50.5}$. That means $2^{202}+202=x^{4}+202$ and $2^{101}+2^{51}+1=x^{2}+x\sqrt{2}+1$. Then, we simply do polynomial division, and find that the remainder is $\boxed{\textbf{(D) } 201}$.

Solution 5 (Modular Arithmetic)

Let $n=2^{101}+2^{51}+1$. Then,

$2^{202}+202 \equiv (-2^{51}-1)^2 + 202 \pmod{n}$

$\equiv 2^{102}+2^{52}+203 \pmod{n}$

$= 2(n-1)+203 \equiv 201 \pmod{n}$.

Thus, the remainder is $\boxed{\textbf{(D) } 201}$.
