General rule :

To find the unit's digit- find the remainder when divided by 10.

to find the last two digits - find the remainder when divided by 100.

....and so on.

For advance theory of remainders check the Math book of gmat Club.

(A) 9
(B) 7
(C) 5
(D) 3
(E) 1


Units digit of \(13^4\) will be 1
Units digit of \(17^2\) will be 9
Units digit of \(29^3\)will be 9

So, Units digit of \(13^4*17^2*29^3\) will be 1 * 9 * 9 => 1

Answer will be option (E) 1

Here's how you do this in under 1:30:

Step 1: Rephrase the question to --- (3^4) * (7^2) * (9^3)
Step 2: Apply unit digit power rules (ANEI = A number ending in) = (ANEI 1) * (ANEI 9) * (ANEI 9)
Step 3: Multiply the ends of numbers (i.e. units digits) = 1*9*9 = 81 = units digit of 1.

Solution



Approach and Working:

The units digit of \(13^4∗17^2∗29^3\) will be same as the units digit of \(3^4 * 7^2* 9^3\).
• Units digit of \(3^4 * 7^2* 9^3\)= Units digit of (\(3^4\))* Units digit of (\(7^2\)) * Units digit of (\(9^3\))
• = 1* 9*9= 1
Hence, the correct answer is option E.

Answer: E
