(a)
Sum of the last two digits is 2 and 5.
Sum of last two digits in 5
9 = 2 + 5
= 7
(b)
Last three digits in odd-numbered powers is
1, 2 and
5.
Sum of the digits in the ones and hundreds place in 5
19 = 1 + 5
= 6
(c)
For even-numbered powers from 5
6 onwards
Formula:
(1) If even-numbered powers ÷ 2 has an odd-numbered quotient, the last four digits is
5, 6, 2 and
5.(2) If even-numbered powers ÷ 2 has an even-numbered quotient, the last four digits is
0, 6, 2 and
5.40 ÷ 4 = 10 r 0
Since the remainder is 0, the sum of the last four digits in 5
40 = 0 + 6 + 2 + 5
= 13
Answer(s): (a) 7; (b) 6; (c) 13
