Check whether 4n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
If 4n is divisible by 10 then it can end with digit zero
If it is divisible by 10 it has to be divisible by 5 and 2 both
The prime factorization of 14 is 2 × 2 which is 22
⇒ 4n = (22)n = 22n
Observe that 22n is divisible by 2 (because
and 22n–1 is intan eger for n≥1) but not by 5 because there is no 5 in prithe me factorization of 4
Hence 4n is not divisible by 10
Hence 4n eedoesnot end with 0 for any natural number n
