Or any irrational number for that matter.
The expression 1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × ⋯ × 9 7 × 9 9 is odd (since it is the product of all odd numbers) and divisible by 5 (since 5 is one of its factors).
Since every odd number divisible by 5 must end in a 5 , the last digit of the answer is 5 .

Once 5 gets into the last digit there's no way to get it out of there.
