100^(25) =10^(50) =100...000_(50 zeros)   100^(25) −25=100...000_(50 zeros) −25=99..9_(48 9s) 75  sum of digits=48×9+7+5=444=111×4  which is divisible by 4.

$$\mathrm{100}^{\mathrm{25}} =\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{50}} =\mathrm{1}\underset{\mathrm{50}\:{zeros}} {\mathrm{00}...\mathrm{000}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}^{\mathrm{25}} −\mathrm{25}=\mathrm{1}\underset{\mathrm{50}\:{zeros}} {\mathrm{00}...\mathrm{000}}−\mathrm{25}=\underset{\mathrm{48}\:\mathrm{9}{s}} {\mathrm{99}..\mathrm{9}75} \\ $$$${sum}\:{of}\:{digits}=\mathrm{48}×\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{444}=\mathrm{111}×\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${which}\:{is}\:{divisible}\:{by}\:\mathrm{4}. \\ $$
