Using the squaring method, determine the last digit of 72023

The last digit of a number is the number mod 10. So let's think about 72023mod10. We'll use the squaring method and Euler's theorem. Solution: First, we need to find the pattern of last digits of powers of 7: 7¹ ≡ 7 (mod 10) 7² ≡ 9 (mod 10) 7³ ≡ 3 (mod 10) 7⁴ ≡ 1 (mod 10)

We see the pattern repeats every 4 steps. So we can use 7²⁰²³ ≡ 7²⁰²³ mod 4 (mod 10)

2023 ≡ 3 (mod 4)

So 7²⁰²³ will have the same last digit as 7³, which is 3.

Therefore, the last digit of 7²⁰²³ is 3.
