To get the answer,I noticed a pattern.

2^{1}=2

2^{2}=4

2^{3}=8

2^{4}=16

2^{5}=32

2^{6}=64

2^{7}=128

2^{8}=256

Notice that the last digits of the answers are in a pattern of 2,4,8,6.

Since there are 4 terms in the sequence,we divide 4 to 5028

5028/4=1257

Since there is no remainder the last digit is the 4th term which is 6

Nice Solution........ I also did the same.
