\(A=7+7^2+7^3+........+7^{2016}\)
\(A=7\left(1+7+7^2+7^3+........+7^{2012}+7^{2013}+7^{2014}+7^{2015}\right)\)
\(A=7\left[\left(1+7+7^2+7^3\right)+........+\left(7^{2012}+7^{2013}+7^{2014}+7^{2015}\right)\right]\)
\(A=7\left[\left(1+7+7^2+7^3\right)+........+7^{2012}\left(1+7+7^2+7^3\right)\right]\)
\(A=7\left[400+........+7^{2012}.400\right]\)
\(A=7.400\left(1+7^4+7^8+7^{12}+......+7^{2012}\right)⋮400\)
Vì \(20^2=400\) nên \(A⋮20^2\left(dpcm\right)\)
