unit digit in 4^5^6^7^8^9
Read Solution (Total 20)
-
- unit digit should be 4
as 5^(any no.) would have unit's digit as 5
4^(any odd no.) would have unit's digit as 4
ie.4^5^6^7^8^9=4^(any no.ending in 5)=4^(...5)=4^(any odd no.)=4

- (4) its power can be multiplied by rule (x)^n^m gives (x)^m*n
ie 5*6*7*8*9 gives an even no
and
4^1 : gives 4 at unit digit
4^2 :6 at ud
4^3 gives 4 at unit digit
therefore when power is odd unit digit is 4
and when poer is even unit digit is 6
hence ans. is 6

- unit digit will be 6
4^(odd)=6 and 4^(even)=4 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(28)
- sory i made a mistake
4^(odd)=4
and 4^(even)=6
unit digit will b 6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(4)
- GUYS THE CORRECT ANSWR IS 6 ... HOW???
4^odd=4(unit digit)...4^even=6(unit digit)....6^any=6(unit digit)....
1st step ...4^5=4(unit digit) now expression 4^6^7^8^9....
2nd step ...4^6=6(unit digit) now expression 6^7^8^9.....now as 6^any=6(unit digit)..so ans will be 6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(4)
- WE KNOW m^n^o = m*n*o
similarly , 5*6*7*8*9 = ---0 i.e. last digit will be 0 (5*6 =30)
it means 4^even
so last digit is 6.
taking sense of 5 as power and calculating is wrong becoz of m*n*0 rule - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- ans=6
4^odd=4
4^even=6
6^even or odd ans should be 6............. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- ans : 4 by cyclicity rule.. 4^1 = 4

- look friends it is just simple to make it up
if any EVEN number has a power with a MULTIPLE of 4 then its unit digit is ALWAYS 6
here:- 4^5^6^7^8^9 =4^(5*6*7*8*9)
=4^15120 (multiple of 4)
=unit digit is 6 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(4)
- unit digit is 0
as 5 multiplied with any no. gives 0 as the unit digit

- unit digit 4
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(2)
- answer is 4...
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- unit digit is 6
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- @swati-5*3=15..where is zero???
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- as cyclicity of 4 is 4
so 4^1=4 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
- i agree with u neha
unit digit must be:4 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- can anyone pls tell me the correct answer?
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- as,4^9! is even,so unit digit is 6...
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- unit digit shuld be 4 like short cut way=4^5^(6^7^8^9) as 5^x=unit digit always 5 so 4^5 now 4 's unit digit may be 4,6 so 5/2 remaindr=1 then 4
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 5*6*7*8*9= 15120 which is an even number.. 4^even number has 6 in the units place so ans will be 6
