Show that $4^{n}$ cannot end with the digit zero for any natural number n .

Open in App

Solution

If any number ends with 0 then it must be divisible by 5
Hence its prime factorization must contain 5
But we know $4 = 2 \times 2$
So, there is no natural number $n$ for which $4^{n}$ can end with 0.
