Explanation:
- First, observe that the expression is \((265)^{4081} + 9\).
- Since we need to find the remainder of this expression divided by 266, it can be simplified using modular arithmetic.
- \(265 \equiv -1 \pmod{266}\), so \((265)^{4081} \equiv (-1)^{4081} \equiv -1 \pmod{266}\).
- Adding 9, we have \((265)^{4081} + 9 \equiv -1 + 9 \equiv 8 \pmod{266}\).
- Thus, the remainder is 8.
Answer: Option 1 - 8
