a) \(S=5+5^2+5^3+5^4+.......+5^{96}\)
\(\Rightarrow5S=5^2+5^3+5^4+5^5+.........+5^{97}\)
\(\Rightarrow5S-S=5^{97}-5\)
\(\Rightarrow4S=5^{97}-5\)\(\Rightarrow S=\frac{5^{97}-5}{4}\)
b) \(S=5+5^2+5^3+5^4+..........+5^{96}\)
\(=\left(5+5^4\right)+\left(5^2+5^5\right)+\left(5^3+5^6\right)+.....+\left(5^{93}+5^{96}\right)\)
\(=5\left(1+5^3\right)+5^2.\left(1+5^3\right)+5^3.\left(1+5^3\right)+......+5^{93}.\left(1+5^3\right)\)
\(=5\left(1+125\right)+5^2.\left(1+125\right)+5^3.\left(1+125\right)+......+5^{93}.\left(1+5^3\right)\)
\(=5.126+5^2.126+5^3.126+......+5^{93}.126\)
\(=126.\left(5+5^2+5^3+.........+5^{93}\right)⋮126\)( đpcm )
