Problem 123: https://projecteuler.net/problem=123
|
||
|
||
Name: Prime square remainders
|
||
|
||
Let pn be the nth prime: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ..., and
|
||
let r be the remainder when (pn−1)^n + (pn+1)^n is divided by pn^2.
|
||
|
||
For example, when n = 3, p3 = 5, and 43 + 63 = 280 ≡ 5 mod 25.
|
||
The least value of n for which the remainder first exceeds 10^9 is 7037.
|
||
|
||
Find the least value of n for which the remainder first exceeds 10^10.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Solution:
|
||
|
||
n=1: (p-1) + (p+1) = 2p
|
||
n=2: (p-1)^2 + (p+1)^2
|
||
= p^2 + 1 - 2p + p^2 + 1 + 2p (Using (p+b)^2 = (p^2 + b^2 + 2pb),
|
||
(p-b)^2 = (p^2 + b^2 - 2pb) and b = 1)
|
||
= 2p^2 + 2
|
||
n=3: (p-1)^3 + (p+1)^3 (Similarly using (p+b)^3 & (p-b)^3 formula and so on)
|
||
= 2p^3 + 6p
|
||
n=4: 2p^4 + 12p^2 + 2
|
||
n=5: 2p^5 + 20p^3 + 10p
|
||
|
||
As you could see, when the expression is divided by p^2.
|
||
Except for the last term, the rest will result in the remainder 0.
|
||
|
||
n=1: 2p
|
||
n=2: 2
|
||
n=3: 6p
|
||
n=4: 2
|
||
n=5: 10p
|
||
|
||
So it could be simplified as,
|
||
r = 2pn when n is odd
|
||
r = 2 when n is even.
