Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. Prove that least significant digit of the square of an even integer is either 0, 4, or 6.
Hint: considering splitting into cases where integers are of the form a·k+b or (a.k+b)
for ke N where a and b are fixed for a given case, b varies over the cases and the least
significant digit of the integer depends on only b.
Note: the least significant digit of an integer is the digit farthest to the right in a
integer. For example, the least significant digits of 1007 and 26 are 7 and 6 respec-
tively.
