Think of the 8 as 2^3.
Then you have 2^100/2^3 which is 2^97 exactly.(because you subtract the powers from each other)
There is no remainder.

Both numbers are powers of 2
You are basically dividing two exponents of the same number here. Since 8 = 2^3, and you are dividing into 2^100, you subtract exponents and there is no remainder.

2^100 = 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376
Divided by 8 = 158,456,325,028,528,675,187,087,900,672
There is no remainder.

8 = 2^3
2^100 / 2^3 = 2^(100-3) = 2^97
