Problem
What is the remainder when 
is divided by 
?
Solution 1
We can factor the expression as
![\[7^{2024} (1 + 7 + 7^2) = 7^{2024} (57).\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/5/f/05f12ad7ed22ebbea9c9e4437c5ba95e02476353.png)
Note that 
, this expression is actually divisible by 19. The answer is 
.
Solution 2
If you failed to realize that the expression can be factored, you might also apply modular arithmetic to solve the problem.
Since 
, the powers of 
repeat every three terms:
![\[7^1\equiv7\pmod{19}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/2/4/c241c520618add32d93f1ceec343a869bff401e0.png)
![\[7^2\equiv11\pmod{19}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/7/8/8/7884bae9a7c83119054fe26642be6f54fa5d3558.png)
![\[7^3\equiv1\pmod{19}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/6/a/96a87b5ffd4ca057d6e94eef31d6fb7de25d590c.png)
The fact that 
, 
, and 
implies that 
.
Solution 3
We start the same as solution 2, and find that:
We know that for 
, 
, and 
, because there are three terms, we can just add them up. 
, which is 
mod .
Solution 4 (Given more advanced knowledge)
By Fermat's Little Theorem (FLT), we know that ![\[7^{18}\equiv1\pmod{19}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/5/2/7/52712c18689479933820da01da7f52a9a365ba8b.png)
Then its order must divide 
. Trying simple values we try and succeed:
So the expression is equivalent to 
, which gives when divided by 19.

Solution 5 (Basic Mod Almost same as sol one)
so it is just .
