Đặt A = 1 + 7 + 72 + ... + 798
=> A = 70 + 71 + 72 + ... + 798
=> A = ( 70 + 71 + 72 ) + ( 73 + 74 + 75 ) + ... + ( 796 + 797 + 798 )
=> A = 70 . ( 70 + 71 + 72 ) + 73 . ( 70 + 71 + 72 ) + ... + 796 . ( 70 + 71 + 72 )
=> A = 70 . 57 + 73 . 57 + ... + 796 . 57
=> A = 57 . ( 70 + 73 + ... + 796 ) \(⋮\)57
Đặt S = \(1+7+7^2+..........+7^{98}\)
\(\Rightarrow S=7^0+7^1+7^2+.............+7^{98}\)
\(\Rightarrow S=\left(7^0+7^1+7^2\right)+\left(7^3+7^4+7^5\right)+..........+\left(7^{96}+7^{97}+7^{98}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow S=7^0.\left(7^0+7^1+7^2\right)+7^3.\left(7^0+7^1+7^2\right)+............+7^{96}.\left(7^0+7^1+7^2\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow S=7^0.57+7^3.57+..........+7^{98}.57\)
\(\Rightarrow S=57.\left(7^0+7^3+.........+7^{98}\right)\)
Mà 57 \(⋮\)57 \(\Rightarrow57.\left(7^0+7^3+..........+7^{98}\right)⋮57\)
Vậy tổng S chia hết cho 57
