what is the unit place of 2^(3^3458) ??
Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- Lets take the power of 3 first...
3458%4=2 (2 is remainder that is unit place of power of 3)
so unit digit of 3^3458=3^2 =9
So whole eqaution can we written as...
2^9
Now,For 2^(9) .... 9%4=1(1 is remainder that is unit place of power of 2)
so unit digit is=2^1 = 2 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(34) No(6)
- we can also take the problem as 2^10374 / 8^3458
find cyclics for eithr 2 or 8
in 8's cycle we got the unit digit no. as 8,4,2,6
noe 3458/4=864 with remainder 2
so the secnd no. in cycle that is 4 will be the ans :) you can verify the ans using 2's cycle. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(7)
- 2^(3^2)=2^9=2 so ans is 2

- answer will be 4.

- 3's cycle is
(3)^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27
after it the unit digits will be repeat...for ex-3^4=81(unit digit is 1 )
so we wil try to find the closest fully divisible no of 3458
the closest no(3456 which is divisible by 3 ....which means 3^3456 is unit digit is 7)
cause 3456+2=3458 so remaining two digit of power will 3^2=9.
so 2^9=512 so...
ans is 2..... - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(5)
- @ pooja because the unit place cycle of 3^n repeats itself after 4 times. for instance 3^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=7(27 so at units place 7)
3^4=1(81 so at units place 1)
3^5=3 Thus the cycle is repeatng now

- 3458%4=2
so unit digit of 3^3458=3^2=9
now, 2^(....9) here 9%4=1
so unit digit is=2^1=1 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(12)
- actually i forget one thing in my last answer......
the correct answer is
3's cycle is
(3)^1=3
3^2=9
3^3=27
3^4=81
after it the unit digits will be repeat...for ex-3^5=243(unit digit is 3 )
so we wil try to find the closest fully divisible no of 3458
the closest no(3456 which is divisible by 4 ....which means 3^3456 is unit digit is 7)
cause 3456+2=3458 so remaining two digit of power will 3^2=9.
so 2^9=512 so...
ans is 2.....

- for 3^3458 at unit place u get 9.
2^9(unit place) we get 2
b'coz unit place for 2^ is 2,4,8,6 sequentially
so by that at2^9 we get 2

- MUKESH SINGH RAJPUT @ why u hv done this 3458%4=2 ...??
why u hv divided it by 4..???
plzz explain - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- just look at the unit digits
2^3^8=(8)^8=64, 2 to the power 3 is 8 and 8 to the power is 64, thus on taking unit digit 4 will be the answer - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
