Answer» If 15ⁿ end with digit zero,then the number should be divisible by 2 and 5. As 2×5=10 →This means the prime factorization of 15ⁿ should contain prime factors 2 and 5. →15ⁿ = (3×5)ⁿ It does not have the prime factor 2 but have 3 and 5, Since 2 is not present in the prime factorization, there is no natural number nor which 15ⁿ ends with digit zero. So,15ⁿ can not end with digit zero. |
