Math Problem Statement

Angka satuan dari 777^777 adalah?

Solution

The question asks for the "angka satuan" or "unit digit" of 777777777^{777}.

To solve this, we need to find the last digit of 777777777^{777}. 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 77777^{777}.

Step-by-step approach:

  1. 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$$.
  2. The length of this cycle is 4. To find the last digit of 77777^{777}, we determine where 777777 falls in the cycle by finding 777mod4777 \mod 4: 777÷4=194 remainder 1.777 \div 4 = 194 \text{ remainder } 1. This means 7771(mod4)777 \equiv 1 \pmod{4}.

  3. Since 7771(mod4)777 \equiv 1 \pmod{4}, the last digit of 77777^{777} is the same as the last digit of 717^1, which is 7.

Thus, the last digit of 777777777^{777} is 7.

The correct answer is C. 7.
