Help to prove!

Unread post by sakibtanvir » Sat Jan 19, 2013 4:39 pm

A number is made with $3^{n}$ same digit.Prove that it is divisible by $3^{n}$ .
(Example:$3 \mid 888$,$9\mid222222222$.)
That is, we have to prove that $10^{3^{n}}\equiv1(mod3^{n+2})$.But how?

ছেলে, LTE(Lifting The Exponent) শিখো। আল্লাহ তোমার ভালো করবে।
এলটিই দিয়ে এটা এক লাইনে শেষ। আর এটা ছাড়া চাইলে ইন্ডাকশন দিয়া কর। (আসলে অমনে করলে এলটিই-র প্রুফই নৈতিকভাবে করা হয় :P )
Notice $3^3|10^3-1$
From inductive hypothesis, assume $3^{n+2}|10^{3^n}-1$
Now note that $10^{3^{n+1}}-1=(10^{3^n}-1)(10^{2\cdot 3^n}+10^{3^n}+1)$.
Also remember $3|10^{2\cdot 3^n}+10^{3^n}+1$
So $3^{n+3}|10^{3^{n+1}}-1$.

Thanks to inform me about LTE thing!!Thaks a lot :) :D !!Here is my first solution using LTE.
$v_{3}(10^{3^{n}}-1)=v_{3}(10^{3}-1)+v_{3}(3^{n-1})=3+n-1=n+2.$

এতদিন পরে দেইখা শান্তি লাগলো। এখন পোলাপান তাইলে এদের মাহাত্ম্য বুঝছে!! :D

খালি কি এইটাই? সাথে আর কি কি আছে? জানতে ইচ্ছা হইলো। আমি কয়েকটা সাজেশন দিতে পারি চাইলে।

অপেক্ষা করার কি দরকার ছিল? এখন দিয়ে দেন না। :)

Vieta Jumping, Legendre's Theorem, Fibonacci-Brahmagupta Identity, Fermat-Euler's 4n+1 theorem, Quadratic Residue, Zsigmondy's Theorem, Cyclotomic polynomial, Multiplicative Function Theorem, Gaussian Integers, Thue's Lemma & Theorem.
Bertrand's Theorem, Dirichlet's Theorem, Erdos's Some(:P ) Theorems, Primitive Roots, Bonse's Inequality(and its improvements), Exponent GCD Lemma can also be included I think, they have elementary solutions.
I think some links would work better, and there are some more used highly I can't remember just now.
