Example.1
Find the larger of
+
and
.
Solution
We have (101)50 = (100+1)50
= 10050 +
50.10049 +
10048
+ --------
And 9950 =
(100–1)50 = 10050 – 50. 10049 +
. 10048 - ….
Subtracting we get
(101)50
- 9950 =![](http://www.quizsolver.com/radix/dth/notif/BIO%20SUB%203_files/image005.gif)
= 10050 +
2
> 10050
Hence, (101)50
> 9950 + 10050

Example.3
Find the last three digits
of 17256.
Solution
We have 172 =
289 =290 –1.
Now, 17256 = (172)128
= (290 –1)128
![](http://www.quizsolver.com/radix/dth/notif/BIO%20SUB%203_files/image019.gif)
![](http://www.quizsolver.com/radix/dth/notif/BIO%20SUB%203_files/image020.gif)
where m is a positive integer.
= 1000 m + (128) (290)
[(127) (145) –1 ] + 1
= 1000 m + (128) (290)
(18414) + 1
= 1000 [m + 683527] + 680 +
1 = 1000 [m + 683527] + 681
Thus, the last three digits
of 17256 are 681.
Example.4
Show that
+
=
198. Hence show that the integral part of
is
197.
Solution
Since (x+a)n + (x–a)n
= 2 (xn + nC2xn–2a2+nC4xn–4a4+nC6xn–6a6
+ ----)
Here, n =6, 6C2 = 15, 6C4
= 15, 6C6 =1 x =
,
a = 1
\
+
= 2 ![](http://www.quizsolver.com/radix/dth/notif/BIO%20SUB%203_files/image026.gif)
= 2 [8+15.4+15.2+1].
= 2 (99) = 198
\
=
198 –
. . . .
(1)
Now,
= 1.4–1 = .4 <1
\
<
1 and it is certainty positive
\ 0<
< 1 .
. . (2)
Hence, from (1)
= 198 – (some thing
positive but less than1)
Therefore the
integral part of
is 197.
