This is problem 23 of AMC 10B in 2011. So, here is the problem:
I will present three solution here. The first one uses Chinese Remainder Theorem, which is the slowest, takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The second solution I will just use Euler Phi function, which is quicker, about 3 minutes. And the third solution I will use the trick of using Binomial Theorem, which is super fast, takes about 10 seconds.
SLOWEST method:
By Chinese Remainder Theorem, we have
We have .
We need to find
Since , then
So,
To find ,
Next, we will find ,
Since , then
So,
Next, we are going to find
Hence,
Therefore, the hundreds digit is 6.
STANDARD Number theory method:
Note that (11, 2011) = 1, hence
Now,
then,
Therefore the hundreds digit is 6.
SUPER FAST Method:
By Binomial Theorem,
Therefore the hundreds digit is 6.
