The number 6638, when divided by 13, gives remainder:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 10
$6^2 = 36 \equiv 10 \ (\text{mod } 13)$
$6^3 \equiv 10 \cdot 6 = 60 \equiv 8 \ (\text{mod } 13)$
$6^6 \equiv 8^2 = 64 \equiv 12 \equiv -1 \ (\text{mod } 13)$
$6^{12} \equiv 1 \ (\text{mod } 13)$
$638 \equiv 2 \ (\text{mod } 12)$
$6^{638} \equiv 6^2 = 36 \equiv 10 \ (\text{mod } 13)$
$\text{Remainder} = 10$
