Answer:
given" n" is a rational number.
Let 4^n ends with zero. then 4 is divisible by 5 but prime factors of 4 are 2 × 2.
4^n= (2×2)^n=2^2n
thus prime factorization of 4^n does not contain 5 .so the uniqueness of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic guarantees that there are no other primes in the factorization of 4^n.
hence there is no natural number"n" for which 4^n ends with the digit zero.
