Question
Check whether $6^n$ can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
✓
Answer
If the number $6^n$ ends with the digit zero, then it is divisibli by $5$ .
Therefore the prime factorization of $6^n$ contains the prime $5$ .
This is not possible because the only prime in the factorisation of $6^n$ is $2$ and $3$ and the uniqueness of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic guarantees that these are no other prime in the factorisation of $6^{ n }$.
Hence it is very clear that there is no value of $n$ in natural numbers for which $6^n$ ends with the digit zero.
