To find the value of
When 10 is divided by 7, it leaves a remainder 3, so the above equation can be written as,
Now looking at the cyclicality of powers of 3 when divided by 7,
mod
mod
mod
mod
mod
mod
From this calculation, it is evident that the powers of 3 modulo 7 repeat every 6 steps. This forms a cycle: 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1
Since mod
We just need to consider mod which equals 4
Hence the answer is 4.
