Mathematics Question on The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic
Check whether 6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
Answer
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.
