Problem
For which of the following integers is the base- number not divisible by ?
Solution 1 (Factor)
We have which is divisible by unless The only choice congruent to modulo is
~MRENTHUSIASM
Solution 2 (Vertical Subtraction)
Vertically subtracting we see that the ones place becomes and so does the place. Then, we perform a carry (make sure the carry is in base ). Let Then, we have our final number as Now, when expanding, we see that this number is simply
Now, notice that the final number will only be congruent to If either or if (because note that would become and would become as well, and therefore the final expression would become Therefore, must be Among the answers, only is and therefore our answer is

Solution 3 (Answer Choices)
By the definition of bases, we have For values and such that we get Note that answer choices are congruent to modulo respectively. So, and are either both correct or both incorrect. Since there is only one correct answer, and are both incorrect. Similarly, and are both incorrect. This leaves us with the answer choice with a unique residue modulo
