The correct Answer is:
To find the remainder when \( 10^1 + 10^2 + 10^3 + \ldots + 10^{99} \) is divided by 6, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the remainder of \( 10^n \) when divided by 6 First, we will calculate the remainder of \( 10^n \) for various values of \( n \) when divided by 6. - For \( n = 1 \): \[ 10^1 = 10 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 10 \div 6 = 1 \quad \text{(remainder 4)} \] - For \( n = 2 \): \[ 10^2 = 100 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 100 \div 6 = 16 \quad \text{(remainder 4)} \] - For \( n = 3 \): \[ 10^3 = 1000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1000 \div 6 = 166 \quad \text{(remainder 4)} \] From these calculations, we observe that the remainder of \( 10^n \) when divided by 6 is consistently 4 for \( n = 1, 2, 3 \). ### Step 2: Generalize the result Since \( 10 \equiv 4 \mod 6 \), we can conclude that: \[ 10^n \equiv 4 \mod 6 \quad \text{for all } n \geq 1 \] ### Step 3: Sum the series Now, we need to sum the series: \[ 10^1 + 10^2 + 10^3 + \ldots + 10^{99} \] Since each term \( 10^n \) contributes a remainder of 4, we can write: \[ \text{Total remainder} = 4 + 4 + 4 + \ldots + 4 \quad \text{(99 times)} \] This can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total remainder} = 4 \times 99 = 396 \] ### Step 4: Find the remainder of the total sum when divided by 6 Now, we need to find the remainder of 396 when divided by 6: \[ 396 \div 6 = 66 \quad \text{(remainder 0)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the remainder when \( 10^1 + 10^2 + 10^3 + \ldots + 10^{99} \) is divided by 6 is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
