what is the unit digit in 27^20
Read Solution (Total 22)
-
- unit digit of 27 is 7 having power 20 which means 4n..
7^20=1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(2)
- 1
27^20=27^(2*10)
=27^(2*2*5 )
for unit place (7^4)^5
=1^5=1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(2)
- TO FIND UNIT DIGIT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW 3 RULES ....
LAST DIGIT =ANYONE OF THESE ( 0,2,3,7,8) GOES TO CYCLIC RULE DIVIDE ( POWER NO BY 4) & FIND REMDR. IF REMD =0 THEN PUT 4
= 1 THEN PUT 1
=2 THEN PUT 2
=3 THEN PUT 3
RULE ii - IF LAST DIGIT EITHER 4 OR 9 GOES TO
IF POWER EVEN ADD +2 = 4+2 =6 LIKE .124^20005554 =6
=9+2=11 LIKE 589^4500008= 1
OTHERWISE WRITE SAME
(254)^8555541 =4
( 366666666666888879)^45555555588888888893 =1
AND LAST RULE IF LAST DIGIT ONE OF (1,5,6)
UNIT DIGIT SAME I.E
(122201)^525544 =1
5555555^69887=5
4256986^653=6
NOW GOES TO THIS QWESTION - (27)^20 ie. last digit =7 goes to cyclic rule = 20/4 ,remd =0 thus write 4
7^4 = 1 anssssss
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- use cyclicity rule... that all
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- When the given number is odd then try to get the last digit as 1.
27^4*5
7^4=1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- (7) ^ 4*5 ans 1
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- In unit place is 7 => 7^2=49
Unit place is 9 => 9*7= 63
Unit place is 3 => 3*7=21
There fore Units place of 27^4=1
there fore units place is 7^20=>7^4^(5)=1^5=>1 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- First We know the power cycle of 7 then we can solve answer fast
i.e. divide the power by power cycle i.e. 20/4 4 is power cycle of 7 unit place then
20/4=Reminder is 0 then take the hightest power of power cycle i.e. 4 then 7^4=2401 then
unit place is =1 is the correct ans.

- Cyclicity of 7 is 4.
20/4 gives remainder 0.
So the unit digit should be 7(i.e the unit digit of 27)^0=1
:-) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- ans is 1
unit digits :7^1..............7
7^2.............9
7^3............3
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Ans-:1
27^20=(3^3)^20=3^60
unit digits of 3^N repeat as =3,9,7,1...(since 3^1=3, 3^2=9, 3^3=27, 3^4=81,3^5=243....)
so, 3^60 has unit digit 1

27^20
7 ^0 = 1
so 1- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- if the unit digit is 2,3,7,8 divide the power with 4
in the above questn in units place 7 ,so divide the 20 with 4
we vil get the reminder as 0 whenevr dividing vit 4 if we get remainder as 0 we need to take last value in 4th table ie the ans is 6 (
4^1=4
4^2=6
4^3=4 repeating no need to consider) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- 27^20
20/4 gives 0 as remainder.
therefore at unit place 7^4 gives= 7*7=49
now, 9*7=72
now, 2*7=14, therefore unit place is 4. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- 20/4 we get remainder 0 then consider as 4
7^4=81
ans unit digit is 1 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Cyclicity of 7 is 4.
then 7^4=2401.
unit digit is 1. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- divide the base with 10 and power with 4 ,because to get units digit e divide it with 10,,,nd cyclicit of any number z 4.. i.e after every four times the unit digits are same...
cyclicit of 7 is 7,9,3,1.when we divide power with 4 the remainder is 0.i.e 4... so ans is 1 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Guys...go thru Arun Sharma (Quant ) for this type of problems ..... easy, helpful and time efficient methods are there....
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 27^20
20(mod 4) =0
27^20 unit digit 1 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- the unit digit=1
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans will be 1
becoz
if we use cyclic rule here we will get 7^4 which results in 1 at unit place - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 27^20
To get the unit digit we only look at unit digit power
27^20
=7^20
=9^10
=1^5
=1 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
