What is the unit digit in the product (365 x 659 x 771)?
1
2
4
6
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Unit digit in 34 = 1 Unit digit in (34)16 = 1

Unit digit in 365 = Unit digit in [ (34)16 x 3 ] = (1 x 3) = 3

Unit digit in 659 = 6

Unit digit in 74 Unit digit in (74)17 is 1.

Unit digit in 771 = Unit digit in [(74)17 x 73] = (1 x 3) = 3

Required digit = Unit digit in (3 x 6 x 3) = 4.

E.g. 3^200 * 4^500?

Solution :-
3^200 * 4^500.
200/4 = 50, remainder is 0 , 3^4.
500/4 = 125, remainder is 0, 4^4.
= 3^4 * 4^4.
= 81 * 256.
= 1 * 6.
= 6 is the answer.

Any other easy method?

Meenakshi said:   1 decade ago
Because this is shortcut for cyclic these types of some e.g.

1, 5, 6 = 0.

4, 9 = 2.

2, 3, 7, 8 = 4.

Rule 1. When remainder is 0 and no. At unit place is even no. Answer is always 6.

Rule 2. When remainder is 0 and no. At unit place is odd and is always 1.

(6^4)^14x6^3 = 1x6 then how come (7^4)^17x7^3 = 1x3.

Unit digit in 34 = 1 unit digit in (34)16 = 1.

Unit digit in 365 = unit digit in [(34) 16 x 3 ] = (1 x 3) = 3.

Unit digit in 659 = 6.

Unit digit in 74 unit digit in (74) 17 is 1.

Unit digit in 771 = unit digit in [(74) 17 x 73] = (1 x 3) = 3.

Required digit = unit digit in (3 x 6 x 3) = 4.

How the unit digits are find? Please explain clearly.
