try my IQ test……….?
(17 raised to the power of 2007) + 5
Favorite Answer
last digit would be 8.
however, i did it with the help of a calculator:
17^1 = 17
17^2 = 289
17^3 = 4913
17^4 = 83521
17^5 = 1419857
17^6 = 24137569
and so on… i think i tried until 17^7 or 17^8 before i was convinced that there was this certain cycle of 4 in the powers of 17. the last digits of the first 4 powers of 17 were were 7, 9, 3, 1: from the 5th power onwards, it only repeated this cycle. thus i divided 2007 by 4 = 501 and 3/4, then considered the 3rd term in the cycle of 4, which was 3. add to that 5, and voila! 8.
Add 5 to that and the answer to your question is…8.
For anyone who doubts this answer, all you need is a calculator that that can do arbitrary precision arithmetic (you can find them online) in order to PRECISELY calculate numbers that large.
