Solution: We have 172
Now, 17256
2 128
= (17 )
289
= (290 - 1)128
-290
- (128) (290) +1
128C
2
126(290)
12SC127(290) + 1
, where m is a positive integer.
= 1000 m + (128) (290) [(127) (145) - 1] + 1 = 1000 m + (128) (290) (18414) + 1
= 1000 Cm + 683527] + 680 + 1 = 1000 [m + 683527] + 681
Thus, the last three digits of 17256 are 681
