51^203

51/7 leaves remainder 2

So, rephrase the question to (2)^203/7

Now, we know that 8/7 will leave remainder 1.. Also, we can see that we can reach that by doing 2^3.

So, rewriting the same equation

[(2)^3]^67 * (2)^2
_________________
7

(8)^67 * 4
________
7

= ((1)^67 * 4)/7

= 4/7

So, remainder is "4"

This is not the sort of question that you're likely to see on the real GMAT. They often ask about units digits of numbers taken to large exponents, but not about remainders.

Ian Stewart's explanation here is spot-on: https://www.beatthegmat.com/screw-these- ... 81931.html
