    Explanation

    The remainder when 123 is divided by 5 is 3. ⇒ So, The remainder when 123 321 is divided by 5 would be same as when 3 321 is divided by 5. Now, the remainder when 3 1 is divided by 5 = 3, ⇒ The remainder when 3 2 is divided by 5 = 4, ⇒ The remainder when 3 3 is divided by 5 = 2, ⇒ The remainder when 3 4 is divided by 5 = 1, ⇒ The remainder when 3 5 is divided by 5 = 3, So, the cycle period is 4, since at 3 4 we get the remainder 1 (after which the cycle starts repeating) Thus, the remainder when 3 321 is divided by is 3 since get the remainder 1 when 321 is divided by 4 (the cycle period). Or Remainder in 1233215=Remainder in 33215=Remander in 3320×315Remainder\ in\ {{{{123}^{321}}} \over 5} = Remainder\ in\ {{{3^{321}}} \over 5} = Remander\ in\ {{{3^{320}} \times {3^1}} \over 5} =Remainder in (34)80×315=Remainder in 315= Remainder\ in\ {{{{\left( {{3^4}} \right)}^{80}} \times {3^1}} \over 5} = Remainder\ in\ {{{3^1}} \over 5} = Remainder is 3.
