Re: Units Digit [#permalink]
As I understand it, whenever there is a product of multiple of 5's and multiple of 2's , we will always end up with a last digit of zero's. Example:
5 ^1* 2^1 => last digit is 0
5^2 * 2^2 => last 2 digits are 0
so 5^19 * 2^17 will have 17 0's on the right hand side. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong... :roll:

Re: Units Digit [#permalink]
Hi all,
i was just wondering if it is always possible to use the approach of "intern" with those kind of questions?

It seems the most easiest way to me.

Many thanks
