We can write ( 3 2 32 ) 32 (32^{32})^{32} it as, ( ( 4 × 8 ) 32 ) 32 ((4 \times 8)^{32})^{32} or ( 4 32 ) 32 × ( 8 32 ) 32 (4^{32})^{32} \times (8^{32})^{32}

( 4 32 ) 32 × ( 7 + 1 ) 1024 (4^{32})^{32} \times (7+1)^{1024}

By Binomial Theorem,

( 4 32 ) 32 × ( 7 1024 + 1 × 7 1023 . . . + 1 1024 ) (4^{32})^{32} \times (7^{1024} + 1 \times 7^{1023} ... + 1^{1024})

thus the on dividing the remainder comes out to be,

( 4 1024 ) (4^{1024}) or ( 2 2048 ) (2^{2048})

We can observe that,

2 1 2^{1} remainder by 7 7 = 2 2

2 2 2^{2} remainder by 7 7 = 4 4

2 3 2^{3} remainder by 7 7 = 1 1

2 4 2^{4} remainder by 7 7 = 2 2

2 5 2^{5} remainder by 7 7 = 4 4

2 6 2^{6} remainder by 7 7 = 1 1

2 7 2^{7} remainder by 7 7 = 2 2

2 8 2^{8} remainder by 7 7 = 4 4

2 9 2^{9} remainder by 7 7 = 1 1

By which we can say that 2 2048 = 4 2^{2048} = 4
