1210 = 1 1 2 × 10 1210 = 11^2 \times 10

Any number 1 1 n 11^{n} can be written as 1 1 n = 1 1 n + 1 10 × 1 1 n 11^{n} = 11^{n+1} - 10\times 11^{n}

Clearly, 10 × 1 1 n ; n 2 10 \times 11^{n}; n\geq 2 is divisible by 1 1 2 × 10 11^2 \times 10 .

1 1 n 1 1 n + 1 10 × 1 1 n 1 1 n + 1 ( m o d 1210 ) \displaystyle \Rightarrow 11^{n} \equiv 11^{n+1} - 10\times 11^{n} \equiv 11^{n+1} \pmod{1210}

Hence, the remainder when 1 1 n 11^n is divided by 1210 1210 is same for all n 2 n\geq 2 and that is 121 \boxed{121}
