Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks for the "angka satuan" or "unit digit" of .
To solve this, we need to find the last digit of . However, we can simplify this by focusing on the last digit of the base 777, which is 7. This reduces the problem to finding the last digit of .
Step-by-step approach:
-
The last digits of powers of 7 repeat in a cycle:
7^1 &\equiv 7 \pmod{10}, \\ 7^2 &\equiv 49 \equiv 9 \pmod{10}, \\ 7^3 &\equiv 343 \equiv 3 \pmod{10}, \\ 7^4 &\equiv 2401 \equiv 1 \pmod{10}. \end{aligned}$$ So, the cycle of the last digits of powers of 7 is: $$7, 9, 3, 1$$. -
The length of this cycle is 4. To find the last digit of , we determine where falls in the cycle by finding : This means .
-
Since , the last digit of is the same as the last digit of , which is 7.
Thus, the last digit of is 7.
The correct answer is C. 7.
