"Please hit +kudos if you like this post" :-D



In such Qs, best is to get the dividend and divisor in some friendly figures..
\(13^{36} = (13^3)^{12} = 2197^{12} = (2196+1)^{12}\).....
when \((2196+1)^{12}\) is divided by 2196, all terms in the expansion are divisible by 2196 except 1^12, so the remainder will be 1

We can also use cyclicity of the last digit to answer this question
13ˆ36/2196
The remainder will depend on the last digit of Numerator ie on 3.
Cyclicity of 3 is 4 and the last digits are
3¹=3
3²=9
3³=27
3⁴=81
Now 36/4=9 the digit will have 9 full cycles and the end of the cycle has 1 as the last digit
1³⁶/2196 the reminder will be 1

it can be resolved on the fly via cyclicity approach by creating a pattern:
Rem[13^1 / 2196] = Rem [13 / 2196] =13
Rem[13^2 / 2196] = Rem [169 / 2196] =49
Rem[13^3 / 2196] = Rem [2197/ 2196] = 1
Rem[13^4 / 2196] = Rem [2197*13 / 2196] = 13

So the cycle is 3 as on the step four it started repeating the same remainder (you can ignore the 4th line for further calculations)

13^36 = 36 / 3 = 12 so it the last 3rd cycle which is 1
