I've got a question in my task sheet. The question is as follows.
43⋅93⋅47⋅973007=X
Find the exact value of X. I've tried a lot, but couldn't find easier way to do it without calculator, which of course, is not allowed in exam. There are no options, they're just asking the value of X.
Would love if someone could help to give Method to solve the problem. As I said, I know how to solve above problem with the help of calculators and I've already found the factorization with help of calc, but no luck in manual mode. :(
Thanks in advance. :)
Answer
HINT mod97:100≡3
Hence 3007≡30⋅100+7
≡30⋅3+7
≡0
I.e. cast out 97's in analogy to cast out nines. See also here where I discuss casting out 91's.
