GMAT Problem Solving (PS) | Re: If n is the remainder when 250 is divided by 3 and m is the remainder

\(\frac{2^4}{3}\) = Remainder 1
So,\(2^{50} = 2^{4*12}*2^2\)

Now,\(\frac{2^2}{3}\) = Remainder 1

So, m =1

\(\frac{2^4}{5}\) = Remainder 1
So,\(2^{15} = 2^{4*3}*2^3\)

\(\frac{2^3}{5}\) = Remainder 3

So, n = 3

Hence,\(m + n = 1 + 3 = 4\)

Hence, Correct answer will be (C) 4
