Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3
Concept:
Unit digit: It is defined as the digit at once place of a given number. To calculate the unit digit, of a certain number with some power or product of numbers, we only have to focus on the digit at the one place of numbers.
Cyclicity: The concept of cyclicity is used to identify the last digit of the number. The cyclicity of any number is about the last digit and how they appear in a certain defined manner.
Procedure to find unit digit:
Step-1: Take the given power like the power of the unit digit of a given number.
Step-2: Divide the power by cyclicity of a given number
- If it is completely divisible, then the unit digit will be digit at once place to the power its cyclicity.
- If it is not divisible completely, replace the power with the remainder obtained, let xy (where x is a unit digit of a given number and y is remainder).
Step-3: Now, the unit digit will be obtained by simplifying xy.
Calculation:
Given number is (3467)3467
Unit digit of the given number (base) is 7, and its cyclicity 4. Hence,
Step-1 \(\frac{3467}{4} \Rightarrow remainder = 3\)
Step-2 73 = 343
Step-3 Unit digit of 343 is 3. Hence,
Unit digit of (3467)3467 will be 3.
