To find unit digit in product ( 3547 ) 153 × ( 251 ) 72 (3547)^{153}\times(251)^{72} we find unit digits of ( 3547 ) 153 & ( 251 ) 72 (3547)^{153} \& (251)^{72} respectively.

1] ( 3547 ) 153 (3547)^{153} cyclicity of 7 is 4 .

Remainder when 153 is divided by 4 is 1 .

Hence , last digit of ( 3547 ) 153 (3547)^{153} will be 7 1 7^1 = 7

2] ( 251 ) 72 (251)^{72} cyclicity of 1 is 1

Hence,unit digit of ( 251 ) 72 (251)^{72} is 1

Hence, unit digit of ( 3547 ) 153 × ( 251 ) 72 (3547)^{153}\times(251)^{72} is 7 × 1 = 7 7\times1=\boxed7

unit digit of 3547^153=7, and unit digit of 251^72 is 1, hence the unit digit of 3547^153 251^72 is 7 1=7.
