In the last three digit ω 69 . ω 70 . ω 71 ω^{69}.ω^{70}.ω^{71} = 1. ω . ω 2 1.ω.ω^{2} which is equal to 1 So, the answer is 1

Can you explain why we only care about "the last three digit"?

I think the problem is wrong 1. ω 2 . ω 3 . ω 4 . . . . . . ω 71 = ω n 1.ω^{ 2 }.ω^{ 3 }.ω^{ 4 }......ω^{ 71 }=ω^{ n }

n = n= x = 2 71 ( x ) = 2555 \sum _{ x=2 }^{ 71 }{ (x) } =2555 and 2555 isn't a multiple of 3

\therefore 1. ω 2 . ω 3 . ω 4 . . . . . . ω 71 = ω 2555 = ω 2 1.ω^{ 2 }.ω^{ 3 }.ω^{ 4 }......ω^{ 71 }=ω^{ 2555 }=ω^{ 2 }

The problem should be ω . ω 2 . ω 3 . ω 4 . . . . . . ω 71 ω.ω^{ 2 }.ω^{ 3 }.ω^{ 4 }......ω^{ 71 }

then the answer is 1 \boxed { 1 }
