Answer:
no 6 power n can never end with 0
as the prime factorization of 6 is 2×3
to end with zero the prime factors of a no. should contain one 2 and one 5 as their prime factors

Step-by-step explanation:
We know that,
Every number which ends with zero has its prime factorisation as 2 and 5.
But, prime factorisation of 6 = (2 × 3)
So, 6^n = (2 × 3)^n
But 6 doesn't have 5 as it's prime factor.
According to the Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic,
Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes, and this factorisation unique, apart form the order in which the prime factors occur.
Therefore, 6 can never have 5 as its prime factor.
Therefore, 6^n never ends with zero.
