What do you mean by (mod 10)?

mod means to get the remainder when divided to a certain number. Thus '1234 mod 10' means to get the remainder when you divide 1234 by 10, which is 4.
If you want to find the last digit of any number you just have to make mod(10) operation because as an example 1234 can be written as 1230 + 4 if we apply modulo operation then it will reduce to 4.I think it will work for you.
I solved this the same way as Nihar Mahajan :)
There is no need to use modulo in such questions. Just do 8*4=32. So, unit digit is 2.

What you do when I ask for three digits
Will anyone explain me why -9(mod 12) is 3?? (out of this context though It will help me to understand )

12*-1=-12 remainder is 3 when you subtract right?
-9 + 12 = 3 and 3 mod 12 = 3
Mod 10 gives us the last number of any number as our number system is based on 10.
Why you take mod 10 why not take a 3mod

1234=1 (mod 10)

hey dude! It is because any position in a number can have 10 different options. (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) then it repeats. (for example: focus on the last digit in this sequence 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 and then 20 so it repeats.
Because the last Digit can be Greater Than 3
Here just we need to multiply the last two digits which is 4x8=32. So the last digit becomes 2.
That's how I also did it. You don't really need mod for this question :)
I did this too.
good solution :)
good solution
8*4 = 32 (Product of last digits of both numbers)
The last digit is just (product of the units digits of both numbers = 3 2 ) ( m o d 1 0 )
⇒ 2 .
When we are asked about only last few digits (say last n digits) of a large sum (or a large product); we can arrive at the answer by only adding (or multiplying in case of products) last n digits of each participant of the sum (or product) and ignoring all other digits, as they can not affect the last n digits in any way no matter how large the participating numbers are.
Applicable only in additions and multiplications (but not a combination of both)
So in this problem n =1 i.e. we are asked last 1 digit of the given product. We can easily tell last 1 digit by ingoring the higher places from all participating numbers leaving just 1 digit from each and then carry out the multiplication.
So 1234 * 5678 becomes 4 * 8 which is 32, last digit is 2.
ANSWER 2
How did you get the 4and8
we need the last digit.so 8*4=32.according to the general rule of multiplication we will take 2.
so the last digit is 2.we don't need mod here
nice explanation
thanks.your comment inspired me
You just need to multiply the last digits of the multiplicand and the multiplier which is 4x8=32. Then the last digit of the product would be the answer.
If we Multiply 1234x5678 the answer will be 7006652... The question is what is the last digit of 1234x5678?
1234
x5678
---------
7006652<----------------The last digit is number 2.
multiplying the last 2 digit (8x4) the last digit is 2
Multiply ones place digit 8and 4 then last digit of solution is 2
Pretty simple. Just multiply the two last digit of the numbers. 4 x 8 = 32. Therefore the last digit is 2.
Product of last 2 digit is required
The last digits will never get added to anything ,so 4×8=32
1 2 3 4 × 5 6 7 8 ≡ ( 1 2 3 0 + 4 ) × ( 5 6 7 0 + 8 ) ≡ 4 × 8 ≡ 3 2 ≡ 3 0 + 2 ≡ 2
That was in m o d 1 0
This. doesn’t even require modular arithmetic. You just have to multiply the last digit of each number. 4*8=32, so the last digit is 2.
The product of their last digit is 32 and its last digit is 2
Multiply the last digits of the two numbers which is 32. The last digit is 2.
Great :) quick and easy.
multiply the last two digits which is 4x8=32. So the last digit becomes 2.
Just multiply last digiys of both numbers 4 x 8 we get 32. So 2 is the answer
sice the last digit of 1234 is 4,last digit of 5678 is 8 multiplying 4 by 8 we get 32 abd therefore 2 as a last digit so the answer is 2
Multiply the last 2 digits, the ones digit of the resultant number is the answer

1 2 3 4 ≡ 4 ( m o d 1 0 ) 5 6 7 8 ≡ 8 ( m o d 1 0 ) ⇒ 1 2 3 4 × 5 6 7 8 ≡ 3 2 ≡ 2 ( m o d 1 0 )
Hence , the last digit of the multiplication is 2 .
