1044 * 1047 1050 * 1053

Now 1044 = (2^2)(3^2)(29)
1044 % 33 = [(4.9)%33][29%33]=[3.29]%33=87%33=21

1047=1044+3
Therefore, 1047%33=24

1050=1044+6
Therefore, 1050%33=27

1053=1044+9
Therefore, 1053%33=30

Therefore [1044 * 1047 1050 * 1053]%33 = [21.24.27.30]%33
or (504%33)(810%33)= [9(18)]%33=30

Answer: 30

Does anyone know a quicker way of solving this?

What is the remainder when 1044 * 1047 * 1050 * 1053 is divided by 33?

first divide 1044 by 33 you will get ramainder 21
1047 is 3 more so remainder will be 21+3=24
remainder with 1050 will give remainder 24+3=27
remainder with 1053 will be 27+3=30

now we can say 1044 * 1047 * 1050 * 1053 divided by 33
we get 21*24*27*30
we can also say 21*24*27*30 as(-12*-9*6*3)
36*54 divided by 33 (-12*-3)(-9*-6)

3* 21 divided by 33
63 divided by 33 remainder 30 answer
if this conceot understood remainder problem wiill be cakewalk
Ideation without execution is delusion

33-12 = 21,
33-9=24
33-6=27
33-3=30

So we can interchange 21 with -12.

Let me know if its not clear..

Reminder of 36*54 divided by 33 is same as
