Show that `12^n` cannot end with the digits `0` or `5` for any natural number `n`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To show that \(12^n\) cannot end with the digits \(0\) or \(5\) for any natural number \(n\), we will analyze the prime factorization of \(12\) and the conditions required for a number to end with specific digits. ### Step 1: Prime Factorization of 12 The first step is to find the prime factorization of \(12\): \[ 12 = 2^2 \times 3^1 \] This means that \(12\) is composed of the prime factors \(2\) and \(3\). ...
