We note that finding the last two digits of 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 can be obtained by reducing 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 ( m o d 1 0 0 ) . Since, ( 3 3 3 3 , 1 0 0 ) = 1 , we can apply this theorem.
We first calculate that ϕ ( 1 0 0 ) = ϕ ( 2 2 ) ϕ ( 5 2 ) = ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 4 ) = 4 0 . Hence, it follows the Euler's theorem that 3 3 3 3 4 0 ≡ 1 ( m o d 1 0 0 ) . Now let's apply the division algorithm on 4444 and 40 as follows :
4 4 4 4 = 4 0 ( 1 1 1 ) + 4
Hence, it follows that: 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 ≡ ( 3 3 3 3 4 0 ) 1 1 1 . 3 3 3 3 4 ≡ ( 1 ) 1 1 1 . 3 3 3 3 4 ( m o d 1 0 0 ) ≡ 3 3 4 ≡ 1 1 8 5 9 2 1 ≡ 2 1 ( m o d 1 0 0 )
Hence the last two digits are 2 and 1.
