The largest power of 2 that divides 2 2008 + 102008 is ?????/ RATES PROMISED
2009
2 2008 + 10 2008
= 2 2008 x ( 1 + 52008 )
Also
1 + 52008 ends with 6
so, 1 + 52008 is also divisible by 2
let 1 + 52008 = 2p
so,
2 2008 x ( 1 + 52008 ) = 2 2008 x (2p)
= 2 2009 p
Hence the ans. is 2009
(10)^2008 =(2*5)^2008.
so, split it ... (2^2008) *(5^2008)
inside it will form (1+ 5^2008).
and this 1 will combine with odd no. 5^2008 to generate one more power of 2.
so, it's 2009 that's max possible ower of 2.
The solution given by Pradeep Rout is good... He took 1+ 52008 as 2p. But when ew take 2 outside we will either 3 or 8 in the unit's place. If t is 3 answer is correct... If its 8 the maximum power is nt 2009.
