If n is a non-negative integer such that 12^n is a divisor of 3,176,793, what is the value of n^12 - 12^n ?

A - 11
B - 1
C 0
D 1
E 11

This is based on very simple logic .. but I got it wrong.

anyone wanna try and solve...

the no. 3 176 793 is not div by 12 so n is 0
therefore the ans is 0

12^n is not a divisor of 3,176 and 793 when n=1
12^n is a divior of the above nos when n=0 i.e 12^0=1

hence n^12-12^n
= n^0-12^o
= 0-1
= -1 will be the answer

so not 0

3176793 is a multiple of 3 and is odd. 12 is 2^2 x 3...

only way that 12^n is a divisor of 3176793 is when n=0.

0^12 - 12^0 = 0 - 1 = -1.

Ans is B...
