Question
Show that $8^n$ cannot end with the digit zero for any natural number $n$.
✓
Answer
The prime factorization should have 2 and 5 as a common factor for a number to end with the digit zero. $8^n=(2 \times 2 \times 2)^n$ does not have 5 in its prime factorization. Hence, $8^n$ cannot end with the digit zero for any natural number $n$.
