− | By the [[binomial theorem]], <math>101^4 + 256 = 104060401 + 256 = 104060657</math> | + | By the [[binomial theorem]], <math>\begin{aligned} 101^4 + 256 &= (100 + 1)^4 + 256 \\ &= (100^4 + 4\cdot 100^3 + 6 \cdot 100^2 + 4 \cdot 100 + 1) + 256 \\ &= 104060401 + 256 = 104060657, \end{aligned}</math> and so the sum of the digits is <math>1+4+6+6+5+7 = \boxed{29}.</math> |
