Finding last two digits of $14^{ 14^{large 14}}!$ without mod method












0












$begingroup$


For $ 14^{large 14^{Large 14}}!$ using mod method I know the solution to find the last two digits. Even on this site I have found the solution but with mod method. But without using mod method can we solve this?

    Why don't you want to use the $mod$ method? I can't think of any way to do this without the $mod$ method but with the $mod$ method is so easy why not use it?

Hint:



The number is clearly divisible by $4$



So, let us find the reminder when divided by $25$



$a=14^{14^{14}}=(1-15)^{14^{14}}=1-binom{14^{14}}115+$ terms divisible by $25$



Now as $5$ divides $15,$ let us the reminder of $14^{14}$ when divided by $5$



$14^{14}=(1-15)^{14}=1+$ terms divisible by $5$



Let $14^{14}=1+5u$ for some integer $u$



$15cdot14^{14}=15(1+5u)=15+25(3u)$



So, $a=1-15-25(3u)=11+25(-3u-1)$



and $a$ is divisible by $4$



Hence $a=25+11$ when divided by $100$
