HEY MATE !!!
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 6n = (2×3)n
It can be observed that 5 is not in the prime factorisation of 6n.
Hence, for any value of n, 6n will not be divisible by 5.
Therefore, 6n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
HOPE YOU'VE FOUND IT INFORMATIVE !!!
PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST !!
THANKS!

6^n = (3x2)^n
we can write the prime factorisation in
only on way
To get zero we should have 2 and 5 in
prime factoristion
so 6^n cannot end with zero because
there is no 5 in it
