Induction proof: $2^n + 3^n ≡ 5^n (mod 6)$ I'm trying to prove that $2^n + 3^n ≡ 5^n\ (mod\ 6)$ using induction.
$n=1$:
$2+3≡5\ (mod\ 6)$
$n=k$:
$2^k + 3^k ≡ 5^k\ (mod\ 6)$
$n=k+1$:
$2^{k+1} + 3^{k+1} ≡ 5^{k+1}\ (mod\ 6)$
$2*2^k + 3*3^k ≡ 5*5^k\ (mod\ 6)$
$6\ |\ 5*5^k - 2*2^k - 3*3^k$
$6\ |\ (2+3)*5^k - 2*2^k - 3*3^k$
$6\ |\ 2*5^k + 3*5^k - 2*2^k - 3*3^k$
$6\ |\ 2*(5^k - 2^k) + 3*(5^k - 3^k)$
Not quite sure if I'm going in the right direction or where to go from here...

Without induction:
$$5^n=(2+3)^n=2^n+3^n+6k.$$
