How to solve 2025 to the power 2025 with mod

Solution

To solve 20252025modn2025^{2025} \mod n, the first step is to identify the modulus nn you're working with. Without a specific modulus, the answer could be computationally huge, and we cannot compute the full value directly. However, we can use some powerful tools like modular exponentiation and Euler's Theorem (if the modulus is coprime to the base) to simplify this.

Here’s a general strategy for solving 20252025modn2025^{2025} \mod n:

Steps:

  1. Simplify the base modulo n:

    • Reduce the base first by taking 2025modn2025 \mod n. This makes the number smaller and easier to work with.
  2. Use Modular Exponentiation:

    • For very large exponents like 2025, directly computing 202520252025^{2025} would be infeasible. Instead, we use a technique called modular exponentiation, which allows us to compute abmodna^b \mod n in an efficient manner without explicitly calculating aba^b.

    The process involves repeatedly squaring the base and reducing modulo nn at each step, which gives us an efficient way to compute the result.

    There’s a well-known algorithm called Exponentiation by Squaring to do this, which reduces the complexity significantly.

  3. If using Euler’s Theorem:

    • Euler's Theorem states that if aa and nn are coprime, then aϕ(n)1modna^{\phi(n)} \equiv 1 \mod n, where ϕ(n)\phi(n) is Euler's totient function of nn.
    • If ϕ(n)\phi(n) is known, you can reduce the exponent modulo ϕ(n)\phi(n). This means instead of calculating abmodna^b \mod n, you calculate abmodϕ(n)modna^{b \mod \phi(n)} \mod n.

Example Calculation:

If the modulus is n=1000n = 1000, we can:

  1. Simplify 2025mod10002025 \mod 1000: 2025mod1000=252025 \mod 1000 = 25 Now, we need to compute 252025mod100025^{2025} \mod 1000.

  2. Apply Exponentiation by Squaring: Using this algorithm, we can calculate the exponentiation efficiently in logarithmic steps.
