What is the remainder when 1551*1553*1555*1557*1559 is divided by 10?

(A) 0
(B) 2
(C) 5
(D) 7
(E) 9

Important property: The remainder when positive integer N is divided by 10 is equal to the units digit of 10
So, the question is really asking us to find the units digit of the product (1551)(1553)(1555)(1557(1559)

Since all five numbers in the product are ODD, the product must be ODD, which means we can eliminate choices A and B

Next, since 1555 is a multiple of 5, we know that the entire product must be a multiple of 5.
So, the units digit of (1551)(1553)(1555)(1557(1559) is either 5 or 0, which means the correct answer is C (since we've already eliminated choice A)

As soon as I see 5 at units place of one of the numbers, I know the remainder on division by 10 can be either 0 or 5. That eliminates B, D and E
Now, given there's no even number, the units digit on multiplication by 5 will always be 5, that eliminates A. So, C is the answer
