Ta có:
C = 3 + 32 + 33 + 34 + ......... + 3100
C = ( 3 + 32 + 33 + 34 ) + ........... + ( 397 + 398 + 399 + 3100 )
C = ( 3 + 3 . 3 + 3 . 32 + 3 . 33 ) + ........... + ( 397 + 397 + 3 + 397 + 32 + 397 . 33 )
C = 3 . ( 1 + 3 + 32 + 33 ) + .............. + 397 . ( 1 + 3 + 32 + 33 )
C = 3 . 40 + ................ + 397 . 40
C = ( 3 + 35 + ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, + 397 ) . 40 chia hết cho 40 ( ĐPCM )
