Question

Show the 6n cannot end with digit 0 for any natural number 'n'.

Sum

Solution

Here, 6n = (2 × 3)n = 2n × 3n

∴ Only prime factorization of 6n are 2 and 3

But 6n, for any natural number n, ends with digit 0, then it must contain the prime numbers 5.

Hence, 6n can not end with digit 0 for any natural number 'n'.
