The units digit of 7 goes like this: 7, 9, 3, 1, 7, 9, 3, 1....
Let the exponent
7
7
=
x
. We want to find the units digit of
7
x
. Units digits of powers of
7
repeat in cycles of 4. So we need to find the remainder when
x
is divided by
4
.
x
=
7
7
.
7
is equivalent to
−
1
m
o
d
4
−
1
7
=
−
1
m
o
d
4
=
3
m
o
d
4
.
Therefore the units digit will be 3.
i also approached the same
let the power of 7 be x
so cyclicity of 7 is 4 & we have the remainder when x is divided by 4
and remainder comes -1 which is not possible so remainder will be 4-1=3
and uni digit be 7 7 7=343
u digit=3
notice that the unit digit is recurring....

We have: 7 2 x m o d 1 0 = 1 ; x ≥ 3 7 7 = ( 2 3 − 1 ) 7 = k 2 3 − 1 ⇒ 7 7 7 m o d 1 0 = 7 1 0 ∗ k + 1 m o d 1 0 = 3
