9^n=(3×3)^n
a number which ends with digit 0 is always having 2 and 5 as it's factors
but there are no 2 or 5 as factors on the given number
therefore , 9^n cannot end with a digit zero for any natural number n

Hi friend,
For the number 9ⁿ to end with digit zero for any natural number n,it should be divisible by 2 and 5.
This means that the prime factorisation of 9ⁿ should contain the prime factors 2 and 5.
9ⁿ = (3²)ⁿ
It is not possible to express 9ⁿ as the product of prime factors,2 and 5.
So,there is no natural number n for which 9ⁿ ends with digit zero.
Hope it helps
