Here is your solution
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.

heya!!
hope my answer helps you ⤵️⤵️
If any digit has 10 . it mean it is divisible by 2 and 5.
we can get 2×5 = 10.
but we won't get it for for 6n
6n is not divisible by 2.
so it cannot end with an zero.
hope my answer helps you ✌
