The unit's digit of is equal to:
The unit's digit of is equal to:
Solution
When finding the unit's digit of any number, only the unit's digit of the base number matters.
Since ends in , we only need to find the pattern of unit's digits for powers of .
The first few powers of and their unit's digits:
(unit's digit: )
(unit's digit: )
(unit's digit: )
(unit's digit: )
(unit's digit: )
(unit's digit: )
The unit's digits repeat in a cycle:
This cycle has length .
To find the unit's digit of , divide the exponent by :
with remainder
When the remainder is : unit's digit is (1st position)
When the remainder is : unit's digit is (2nd position)
When the remainder is : unit's digit is (3rd position)
When the remainder is : unit's digit is (4th position)
Since the remainder is , the unit's digit corresponds to the 4th position of the cycle.
Therefore, the unit's digit of is .
