How can I do this problem quickly? Find the remainder:(2^6 x 3^5 - 5^4) / 7The answer is 3

ashsang123 · ashsang123

step 1: write square of last digit. step 2: square of first two digit+(2 x first digit x last digit) + last digit. example : 256 x 256 1. write 6 x 6 = 36 2. 25 square is 625 so 625+(2x2x6)+6=655 so answer is 65536

The website says it has an internal error. Could anyone elaborate? Thanks!
