    I did the first question in my head by observing that 2023 = 28 mod 35, so 2023^2023 = 28^2023 mod 35, then the powers of 28 mod 35 cycle over 28, 14, 7 and 21. Since 2023 = 3 mod 4, the third in the cycle 7 was the correct answer

      Oh boy did he overcomplicate his answer. I used virtually the same method as you, noticed the cycling as well, but for some reason missed I basically had the answer by finding 2023 mod 4. I did some further work breaking it down more to get to the answer, which I now see was unnecessary.

    The second solution to the first problem is closely related to the Chinese remainder theorem. You can calculate the final remainder directly once you know the remainders mod 7 and mod 5. By CRT, we get (2*3*7 + 0) (mod 35) which gives 7. Where 3 is the multiplicative inverse of 7 (mod 5) i.e. 7*3=21= 1 (mod 5). The second term is 0 because the number is divisible by 7.

      @@samueldeandrade8535 That is exactly whats happening: if we rewrite the fraction as
      10^20000 / 10^100 + 10^20000 / 3
      then we can divide
      10^19900 + 10^20000 / 3
      now, 10^19900 is a number than starts with 1 and has 19900 zeros after it, meaning we can just discard it as we just want the units digit for our answer and it will not have an effect on it because its all zeros except the 1 that is 19900 digits to the left.
      now 10^20000 / 3 gives us a number with 20000 3s to the left of the decimal point and infinite 3s to the right of it. getting the floor of this number gets rid of the 3s to the right of it, but it actually does not matter as the unit's digit is still 3.
      This is actually how I solved the problem and it much shorter and simpler, I am kinda sad he showed a long and complicated one instead.

    A slightly different solution is to set u = 10¹⁰⁰+3; then the expression becomes floor((u-3)²⁰⁰/u). Expand by the binomial theorem; the last term is then 3²⁰⁰/u =9¹⁰⁰/(10¹⁰⁰+3), which is clearly < 1
    and gets ignored by the floor function. Since u ≡ 3 (mod 10); the remaining expression reduces to 3¹⁹⁹((1-1)²⁰⁰-1) This can be generalized to floor(10^(2m²)/(10^m+3)), whose last digit is ≡ 3^(m-1) (mod 10).

    Using the Euler’s totient function and associated Euler’s theorem, you only need to consider the exponent mod 24 (the factors of 35 minus one, then multiplied). So 2023 to power 2023 mod 35 is the same as 28 to power 7 mod 35, which is 7. This is a useful trick in public key cryptography, especially RSA.

    35=5×7, both are primes, so first I did it mod 5: 2023^2023 = 3^3 = 27= 2 (mod 5)
    Because 2023 = 3 (mod 5) and 2023 =3 ( mod 5-1) for the exponent using Fermat's little theorem.
    Next noticed that 7 divides 2023, so 2023^2023=0 (mod 7).
    Which number under 35 satisfies both conditions? Just starting with 2 and repeatedly add 5, until it is a multiple of 7. Well, the first try works, so the answer is 7.

    • @ranshen1486
      @ranshen1486 8 месяцев назад

      Just clarifying your last step (because I'm not smart enough to directly see this):
      With 2023²⁰²³ = 5m + 2 = 7n, let m = 7k + q. So 5(7k + q) + 2 = 7n. Modulo 7 gives, 5q + 2 ≡ 0 (mod 7). So q=1 is a solution. Thus 2023²⁰²³ can be written as 5 (7k + 1) +2 = 35k + 7.

    I did the first question by the mod7-mod5 method. 2023≡23-2 mod 7, since 7|1001, and 7|21, so I can simply ignore 7 and focus on 5. Then 3^3=27, so the answer is congruent to 2 mod 5 and 0 mod 7, which is obviously 7.

    Puzzle, how can you get the Lorentz factor for any percentage of light speed using simple geometry? My solution, draw a 90 degree angle with the vertical side being 1 unit long and representing the speed of light, and the horizontal line extending as far as required when I describe the next steps.
    Draw a half circle from the top to the bottom of the vertical line, ie, center of the half circle being at the center of the line. Now choose whatever percentage of light speed you want to find the Lorentz factor for and mark a point on the vertical line that percentage of the distance up from the bottom end where it joins the horizontal line, ie, 0.5 light speed would be marked at 0.5 unit up.
    Next draw a quarter circle between that mark and the horizontal line, ie, centered at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal lines. Now you will have the half circle and quarter circle intersecting at a center point.
    Next draw a line from the top of the vertical line through the intersection point just described and extend it until it intersects the horizontal line. The length of that line will be the Lorentz factor for the chosen percentage of light speed. The procedure is ridiculously simple and entirely accurate. You would need to use a geometry drawing (CAD) program, of course, to get accurate results.
    The reason I said to draw the horizontal line as long as required when I describe the steps is because the higher the percentage of light speed you choose, the longer the horizontal line will need to be. The closer you get to 100% of light speed, the closer the horizontal line would get to being infinitely long, so this method is really only practical up to a certain point, like about 90% of light speed or less. I'm not suggesting that this method has any practical use, it's just to show that it can be done using simple geometry, not that you would actually want to do it instead of using the equation. If you do a search for a simple geometric method of obtaining Lorentz factors you won't be able to find one so I created one myself.

    Can we also do it like this:2023 is the multiple of 7. The remaining factor is 5. The units digit of 2023^2023 is 7. The factors of 5 have 0 /5 in their ones place. When divided by 5 it will remainder 2 but then it will not be able to divide by 7. But if we look at the next factor it is divisible by both 5 and 7 and leaves remainder of 7

    I did the first one slightly different by using the prime decomposition of 2023, noticing it's divisible by 7, and thus rewriting the thing as 2023^2022*289/5. Now you just need to check mod 5 (which means you can just check the last digit). So mod 10, that is:
    3^2022*9 = 9^1011*9 = 9^1012 = 1^506 = 1 mod 10. So it's the same mod 5. Now we just multiply that by 7 (because we divided both quotient and remainder by 7 in our first step) and get a remainder of 7.

    @Megathescientist 10 месяцев назад +9

    For the Putnam problem, let's break down the expression 10^20000 / (10^100 + 3). We can represent it as the sum of two parts: (10^20000 - 3^200) / (10^100 + 3) + 9^100 / (10^100 + 3). It's important to note that the second part is less than 1.
    To demonstrate that the first part, obtained by subtracting 3^200 from 10^20000 and dividing by the sum of 10^100 and 3, is an integer, consider (10^100)^200 - 3^200. This is proportional to (10^100)^25 + 3^25, and this proportionality extends to 10^100 + 3. Therefore, the floor of 10^20000 / (10^100 + 3) is equal to the first part.
    Looking at the last digit of the numerator modulo 10, we find that 10^20000 - 3^200 is equivalent to 10 - 9^100, which is congruent to 9 modulo 10. Similarly, the last digit of the denominator, 10^100 + 3, is congruent to 3 modulo 10. Therefore, the last digit of the entire expression is 9/3, which equals 3, as this fraction results in a whole number.

      @@TaladrisKpop Quite straightforward! We can represent the fraction modulo 10 as 9 ≡ 3x (mod 10), where x is the unknown digit. Since 3 is coprime with 10, dividing both sides by 3 doesn't alter the equation, leading to x ≡ 3 (mod 10). However, in your example, 125 ≡ 25x (mod 10), 25 is not coprime with 10.

The multiplicative inverse of 3 mod 10 is 7 (because 3*7 = 1 mod 10). So 7*9= 3 (mod 10). Multiplying by 7 is equivalent of dividing by 3.

Showing that (10^100)^25 + 3^25 was divisible by (10^100 + 3) was not initially obvious to me until I recalled that the sum of odd powers x^(2n+1)+y^(2n+1) have a factor of (x+y).

    For problem 1, we can also use sum of binomial coefficients sum of nCr = 2 to power n (2^n).
    Rewrite 7^2023 as (1 + 6) ^ 2023 and expand the binomial.
    Since the unit digit of 6^n is always 6, (1 + 6) ^ 2023 can be expanded as
    1 + 6^1 x 2023 C 1 + 6^2 x 2023 C 2 + ... + 6^2023 x 2023 C 2023
    = 1 + 10j + 6 (2023 C 1 + 2023 C 2 + ... + 2023 C 2023)
    = 1 + 10j + 6 (2023 C 0 + 2023 C 1 + 2023 C 2 + ... + 2023 C 2023) - 6
    = 10j - 5 + 6 (2^2023)
    Since the unit digit of 2^n can be generalised as:
    n = 4j+1 => unit digit = 2
    n = 4j+2 => unit digit = 4
    n = 4j+3 => unit digit = 8
    n = 4j+4 => unit digit = 6
    => unit digit of 2^2023 = 8
    Hence 10j - 5 + 6 (2^2023) can be rewritten as
    10j - 5 + 6 (10m + 8)
    = 10j - 5 + 60m + 48
    = 10(j + 6m + 4) + 8 - 5
    = 10(j + 6m + 4) + 3
    So we have 2023^2023
    = 35k - 7^2023
    = 35k - (10(j + 6m + 4) + 3)
    = 35k - 10(j + 6m + 5) + 10 - 3
    = 35k - 10(j + 6m + 5) + 7

    The first question could be solved this way:

    2023^2 = 14 mod 35
    2023^3 = 7 mod 35
    2023^4 = 21 mod 35

    ...
    Observe that the cycle repeats after every 4th power of 2023.
    Since 2023 = 3 mod 4, our answer is the 3rd element in the cycle, or 2023^3 = 7 mod 35. Therefore the remainder is 7.

    since we are finding the last digit of 2023^2023 we can find the last digit of 3^2023 as the tens/hundreds and etc are useless when finding the last digit
    and we only have to study the behavior of the last digit of 3^2023
    so keep multiplying until we have a repeat
    1: 3, 2: 9, 3: (ignore 2) 7, 4: (ignore 2) 1, 5: 3
    so we have 4 different numbers 3, 9, 7, 1.
    so we do 2023 mod 4 which gives 3, so we pick the third one which gives the digit 7, so 2023^2023 ends in 7

      If we approximate 2023 by 2000 and 2^10 by 10^3, you would get that 2023^2023 ≈ 2000^2023 = (2^2023)(1000^2023).
      2^2023 ≈ 10^674 and 1000^2023 = 10^6069, so their product will be around 6743 digits, which is quite manageable for any computer.

    I have literally no idea what maths you used in this video. Never seen this “mod” system before. I did manage to get the correct answer for question 2 however, using only my logic. Maybe I got lucky haha. Also, the thumbnail and question two are worded differently. What is the “units digit” versus what is the “last digit”. I don’t know what a “unit” is, in this instance, but I rationalized that a number ending in 0 and being divided by 3 would result in a 1/3 fractional remainder. So .3333333 repeating.

    I've been meaning to ask this question for some time: Why do you use the phrase "the opposite of x" rather than "negative x"? I recognize that I may have an American English bias, but "opposite" seems ambiguous in a mathematical context. You're using it to mean "additive inverse" when it could just as logically mean "multiplicative inverse". So the "opposite of x" could be "1/x" just as easily as "negative x". Am I missing something? 🤔

  • @jackmaguire8074

    For the second one, you know 10 to the power of n is a multiple of 10, so you can surely ignore the powers. Knowing, simplified, one way or another the fraction, somewhere, will be 10/13, you do this equation, which gives you 0.7692307692.... This is a repeating decimal so surely knowing the last digit of this repeat is 3, it would give you your answer? Am I wrong? Was this complete luck?

  • @jameswalsh318
    @jameswalsh318 10 месяцев назад

    I think the answer to the second question in the video is wrong.
    I got 7 as the units digit of the floor of 100^200/(100^100+3), not 3.
    Let's remove the word "floor" in the sentence above and replace it with the words "integer part". But since we are asked for "the units digit" of a number, it already implies we are getting it from the integer part of that number. So we can remove the words "of the floor" in the sentence above because it is not necessary.
    So now we can change the original question and simplifly it to:
    What is the units digit of 100^200/(100^100 + 3)?
    The answer is 7.
    Proof:
    1. let 100^200/(100^100 + 3) = x
    2. ((100^100 + 3)(100^100 - 3) + 9)/(100^100 + 3) = x
    3. (100^100 + 3)(100^100 - 3)/(100^100 + 3)+9/(100^100 +3) = x
    4. (100^100 - 3) + 9/(100^100 +3) = x
    5. Notice in step 4 above that the fractional part of x is 9/(100^100 + 3). We can ignore the fractional part of x because it does not contain, or determine, the units digit of x which is what we are asked to find out. The integer part of x is 100^100 - 3. That is a 1 with 200 0s after it minus 3. This is the important part of x. This integer, 100^100 - 3, contains the units digit which is the last digit to the right.
    6. The units digit of 100^100 - 3 is 7. If you have any integer which is a 1 with many 0s after it and then subtract 3 from it you get an integer which is many 9s with a 7 after it.
    For example:
    10 - 3 = 7
    100 - 3 =97
    1000 - 3 = 997
    10000 - 3 = 9997
    100000 - 3 = 99997
    1000000 - 3 = 999997
    1000...000 - 3 = 999...997
    Notice that there is one less 9 on the right side of the equal sign than the number of 0s on left side of the equal sign.
    Therefore the units digit of 100^200/(100^100 + 3) is 7.

      @@robertveith6383I think the point is, the order of operations is often assumed rather than stated explicitly. In those cases, it’s perfectly reasonable to say that the question was poorly written, since it made an assumption that was not related. This is even bigger of an issue in exams that allow calculators - different brands and models have different order of operations, and it’s not something many people are taught in school, so tends to be an unpleasant surprise.
      As to whether PEMDAS, BODMAS etc. is technically ‘wrong’, no, they’re all perfectly correct. They’re just a component of notation if you think about it. You can always re-write an equation in any ordering you like, and if you use enough brackets, you can totally override any notational ordering. Notice that in all ordering schemes, brackets (parentheses) are always the highest priority!

    Had a more prosaic (boring?) answer to Q1, as 2023 is divisible by 7 the sum boils down to 7^(6068)/5.
    7^(6068)/5 is easy enough for the remainder as the pattern of remainders of powers of 7 divided by 5 is easily found to be 2,4,3,1,2,4,3,1... and 6068 is divisible by 4, so the remainder is 1. Multiplying back up to get the remainder on division by 35 gives 7. And THAT's the answer.

      The alternating series is a geometric series with first term a = (-3)^200/u and common ratio r = -3/u, where u = 10^100. Since |r| < 1, the series is convergent. Therefore, we can evaluate it by the formula S = a/(1-r).
      We have S = ((-3)^200/u)/(1+3/u) = 3^200/(u+3).
      But S < 3^200/u = 3^200/10^100 = (9/10)^100 < 1.

      Yes the 7 gets cancelled now changing the look of the fraction to (289)(2023^2022)/5. It is the same final improper fraction number but just a new way of expressing it. Anyway, the answer is some integer +.2 decimal. 7/35=1/5=.2 decimal. A .2 decimal is equal to a remainder of 1. So if the 7 factor of 35 cancels out, leaving a division by 5, then the remainder is 1.
