Ta có : \(A=7+7^2+7^3+...+7^{4k}\)
\(=\left(7+7^2+7^3+7^4\right)+...+\left(7^{4k-3}+7^{4k-2}+7^{4k-1}+7^{4k}\right)\)
\(=\left(7+7^2+7^3+7^4\right)+...+7^{4k-4}\left(7+7^2+7^3+7^4\right)\)
\(=\left(7+7^2+7^3+7^4\right)\left(1+...+7^{4k-4}\right)\)
\(=2800\left(1+...+7^{4k-4}\right)\)
\(=350.8\left(1+...+7^{4k-4}\right)⋮8\)
\(\Rightarrow A⋮8\left(1\right)\)
Ta lại có : \(A=7+7^2+7^3+...+7^{4k}\)
\(\Rightarrow7A=7^2+7^3+7^4+...+7^{4k+1}\)
\(\Rightarrow7A-A=\left(7^2+7^3+7^4+...+7^{4k+1}\right)-\left(7+7^2+7^3+....+7^{4k}\right)\)
hay \(6A=7^{4k+1}-7=7\left(7^{4k}-1\right)\)
Vì \(7\equiv2\left(mod5\right)\)\(\Rightarrow7^{4k}\equiv2^{4k}=16^k\left(mod5\right)\)
mà \(16\equiv1\left(mod5\right)\)\(\Rightarrow16^k\equiv1^k=1\left(mod5\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow7^{4k}\equiv1\left(mod5\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow7^{4k}-1⋮5\left(\cdot\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow7\left(7^{4k}-1\right)⋮5\)
\(\Rightarrow6A⋮5\)
Nhưng \(\left(6;5\right)=1\)
\(\Rightarrow A⋮5\left(2\right)\)
Ta lại có tiếp : \(7\equiv1\left(mod2\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow7^{4k}\equiv1^{4k}=1\left(mod2\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow7^{4k}-1⋮2\left(\cdot\cdot\right)\)
Từ \(\left(\cdot\right)\), \(\left(\cdot\cdot\right)\) và \(\left(2;5\right)=1\): \(\Rightarrow7^{4k}-1⋮10\)
\(\Rightarrow7\left(7^{4k}-1\right)⋮10\)
\(\Rightarrow6A⋮10\)
Nhưng \(\left(6;10\right)=1\)
\(\Rightarrow A⋮10\left(3\right)\)
Từ \(\left(1\right),\left(2\right),\left(3\right)\)và \(\left(5;8;10\right)=1\)
\(\Rightarrow A⋮400\left(đpcm\right)\)
