a) S = 2 + 22 + 23 + 24 +.....+ 29 + 210
= (2 + 22) + (23 + 24) +.....+ (29 + 210)
= 2(1 + 2) + 23(1 + 2) +....+ 29(1 + 2)
= 3.(2 + 23 +.... + 29) chia hết cho 3
=> S = 2 + 22 + 23 + 24 +.....+ 29 + 210 chia hết cho 3 (Đpcm)
b) 1+32+33+34+...+399
=(1+3+32+33)+....+(396+397+398+399)
=40+.........+396.40
=40.(1+....+396) chia hết cho 40 (đpcm)
