Concept of Unit Digit : Number System
• Unit Digit Of Any Expression Depends on the Calculation of Unit Digits
of the numbers present in Expression.
• Ex.
1). 755656 + 7657 + 657 + 47647 + 5758
2). 673 × 727
3). 567 × 762 × 6758758 × 8766 × 64
Concept of Unit Digit : Number System
• 4). 564567 – 66673
• 5). 3453672 – 43658
• 6). 567 + 456 × 46758
Example
Q. What is the unit digit of product of all the prime numbers ?
Q. What is the unit digit of product of all the odd prime numbers ?
UNIT DIGIT WITH RESPECT OF POWERS
• 21 = 2 31 = 3
• 22 = 4 32 = 9
• 23 = 8 33 = 27
• 24 = 16 34 = 81
• 25 = 32 35 = 243
• 26 = 64 36 = 729
• 27 = 128 37 = 2187

UNIT DIGIT WITH RESPECT OF POWERS
• 2,3,7,8 → Cyclicity of 4.
• 4,9 → Cyclicity of 2.
𝟒 𝑶𝒅𝒅 → …..4, 𝟗 𝑶𝒅𝒅 → …..9
𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒏
𝟒 → …..6 , 𝟗 → …..1

Concepts
• ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (A.P.)
A sequence a1, a2, a3, ….. an is said to be in arithmetic progression,

when a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = an – an – 1 i.e., when the quantities increase or
decrease continuously by a common quantity and this constant
quantity is called the common difference of the A.P.
Ex. a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d……… a + (n – 1) d
nth term of an A.P. = an = a + (n – 1) d
Concepts
• ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (A.P.)
𝑛
Sum of n terms of an A.P. = 2𝑎 + 𝑛 − 1 𝑑

Concepts -
• Factors –A number that divides another number completely—i.e., with no remainder.
• For example, 5 and 15 are factors of 45 because 45 ÷5 = 9 exactly and 45 ÷15 = 3

exactly.
• The prime factors of a number are those factors which are prime.

CONCEPTS -
• NO. of Factors of a number

if, N = 𝑃 𝑥 × 𝑄 𝑦 × 𝑅 𝑧 …….
