Check whether  6n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.

Answer : If the number 6n ends with the digit zero (0), then it should be divisible by 5, as we know any number with unit place as 0 or 5 is divisible by 5.

Prime factorization of 6n = (2×3)n

Therefore, the prime factorization of 6n doesn’t contain prime number 5.

Hence, it is clear that for any natural number n, 6is not divisible by 5 and thus it proves that 6n cannot end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
