letn=200  so problem is (18−1)^n   18^n −18_C_1  .18^(n−1)  +18_C_2  .18^(n−2) ....(−1)^n   so remainder is (−1)^n  here n=200 so   remainder is 1
$${letn}=\mathrm{200} \\ $$$${so}\:{problem}\:{is}\:\left(\mathrm{18}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{18}^{{n}} −\mathrm{18}_{{C}_{\mathrm{1}} } .\mathrm{18}^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \:+\mathrm{18}_{{C}_{\mathrm{2}} } .\mathrm{18}^{{n}−\mathrm{2}} ….\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \\ $$$${so}\:{remainder}\:{is}\:\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}} \:{here}\:{n}=\mathrm{200}\:{so}\: \\ $$$${remainder}\:{is}\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$

17≡−1(mod 18)  (17)^(200) ≡(−1)^(200) =1(mod 18)  (17)^(200) ≡1(mod 18)
$$\mathrm{17}\equiv−\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{mod}\:\mathrm{18}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{17}\right)^{\mathrm{200}} \equiv\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{200}} =\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{mod}\:\mathrm{18}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{17}\right)^{\mathrm{200}} \equiv\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{mod}\:\mathrm{18}\right) \\ $$
