Why is this wrong? Why can’t we solve separately and then add?
I did:
4^35/5, R = 4
3^35/5, R= 2
R=4+2
R=6
Can a number have remainder 6 when divided by 5?

Oh right - so if it’s a number greater than what’s in the denominator, we divide again by the denominator to get the remainder? correct?
Better to think of it like this: what’s the remainder when 4^{35} + 3^{35} is divided by 5?
