if the number 4th isend with the digit 6,nEN, then the value of n is
Answers
Answer:
For the number 4
n
to end with digit zero for any natural number n, it should be divisible by 5. This means that the prime factorisation of 4
n
should contain the prime number 5.But it is not possible because 4
n
=(2)
2n
so 2 is the only prime in the factorisation of 4
n
. Since 5 is not present in the prime factorization, so there is no natural number n for which 4
n
ends with the digit zero.
Concept
A process of factoring a number in terms of prime numbers that means the factors will be prime numbers is called as prime factorization.
Given
4ⁿ ends with 6
Find
The value of n
Solution
4ⁿ= (2 * 2)ⁿ
4ⁿ= 2ⁿ * 2ⁿ
As 2 is a factor of 4ⁿ
Hence 4ⁿ is always a even number and ends with 4 and 6
So for any value of n = 2,4,6,8,10... 4ⁿ ends with 6.
