To solve the problem of finding the probability that \( x^2 + y^2 \) is divisible by 5 when two natural numbers \( x \) and \( y \) are chosen at random, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Remainders When a natural number is divided by 5, the possible remainders (or residues) are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. We denote these remainders as \( r \) for \( x \) and \( s \) for \( y \). ### Step 2: Express \( x \) and \( y \) We can express \( x \) and \( y \) in terms of their remainders: - \( x = 5p + r \) ...
