Answer:
To check wheather a number ends with zero or not, please see below:
Step-by-step explanation:
- If any number ends with the digit 0, it should be divisible by 10 or in other words, it will also be divisible by 2 and 5 as 10 = 2 × 5.
- Prime factorisation of 4n = (2 ×2)n
- It can be observed that 5 is not in the prime factorisation of 4n.
- Hence, for any value of n, 4n will not be divisible by 5.
- Now, in the case of 8n, lets see the prime factorisation of 8 which is, 2x2x2 which is equal to 2³
- 8³ is ≠ 2 or 5.
Therefore, the numbers 4^n and 8^n cannot end with the digit 0.

Answer:
noo... 4^n and 8^n don't end with 0
4¹=04. 8¹=08
4²=16. 8²=64
4³=64. 8³= 512
4⁴=256. 8⁴=4096
4⁵=1024. 8⁵=32768
Similarly.4^n result to end with 4 (or) 6
8^n results to end with 8(or)4(or)2(or)6(or)8(or)4(or)2(or)6(or)8...
Hence proved that 4^n and 8^n never end with 0
