you mean to say
7^(1996)+((7^1996)with first digit striked off) ) and so on
guys I am not sure my ans
but i thought toput it to you
it is 7^(1996)
right
observe the patterm
unit place
7^0= unit place 0
7^1 = 7
patern
1,7,9,3 ,1 so on
so
unit digit in 7^1996
(1996+1)mod4
=1
first in pattern =1
same way for tens digit
pattern is
0,0,4,4,0,0
it can be found that tens place in 7^1996
will be 0
no. of digit in
7^1996 are
1687
there fore to get ten digit left we need to repeat process
1687-10=1677
which means
that
last ten digits get added again and again 1677 times
last digit was ................01*1677
which gives............................77
again i not sure that this is correct or not
