show that if   5^(3n) +5^(2n) +5^n +1 is divisible by  13, then n (∈ N) is not a   multiple of 4.

p⇒q⇔q^− ⇒p^−   let n=4k  5^4 =625=13.48+1  5^4 =1[13]  ⇒5^(3(4k)) +5^(2(4k)) +5^(4k) +1≡(1)^(3k) +1^(2k) +1^k +1≡4[13]≠0[13]

$${p}\Rightarrow{q}\Leftrightarrow\overset{−} {{q}}\Rightarrow\overset{−} {{p}} \\ $$$${let}\:{n}=\mathrm{4}{k} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{625}=\mathrm{13}.\mathrm{48}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{1}\left[\mathrm{13}\right] \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{4}{k}\right)} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{4}{k}\right)} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{4}{k}} +\mathrm{1}\equiv\left(\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{3}{k}} +\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}{k}} +\mathrm{1}^{{k}} +\mathrm{1}\equiv\mathrm{4}\left[\mathrm{13}\right]\neq\mathrm{0}\left[\mathrm{13}\right] \\ $$
