Correct Answer: 2


Solution : To find: The remainder when $3^8$ is divided by 7
= remainder ($\frac{3^8}{7}$)
= remainder ($\frac{(3^2)^4}{7}$)
= remainder ($\frac{(9)^4}{7}$)
9 divided by 7 will leave the remainder of 2.
So, remainder = remainder ($\frac{2^4}{7})$
= remainder ($\frac{16}{7}$)
= 2
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
