\(202^3\)=\((200+2)^3\)=\(200^3+2^3+3*200*2(200+2)\)
=8000000+8+1200*202

No need of addition or multiplication.

00(last two digits of 1st term- 6th and 7th digit respectively)+8(the only digit of 2nd term-this is added because it may lead to a carry forward that will increase the magnitude of 6th digit)+00(last two digits of 1200 as 1200 multiplied by any number will yield a number with last two digits zero)=08, where 0 is the 6th digit.

Please explain in a way I can understand.
And an approach to solve such problems with respect to any place of the digit asked.

Hi,

I am yet to see a question which looks for 6th digit of an expansion.
the 6th digit itself is confusing as 6th could be from right or from left, so you need not worry about such questions.
But yes you should know how to find units digit - cyclicity
or tens digit - remainder when divided by 10.
