Nice solution, Sir!
We just need the last digit, so we only use the last digit,i.e., 2 .
The powers of 2 continue in the pattern 2 , 4 , 8 , 6 , ⋯
Since 5 9 3 ÷ 4 gives remainder 1
So, the last digit is 2 1 = 2
In fact my calculator is able to evaluate that:p

Was it your python calculator :)
Based on 2 n 's second digit = 2 , 4 , 8 , 6 , 2 . . . :
5 9 3 ( mod ( 4 ) ) = 1
Substitute n = 1 - 2 1 = 2
The answer is 2
I believe the correct notation is maybe this: 5 9 3 ≡ 1 m o d ( 4 )
I don't use mod I use % :)
32^593=(2^5)^593=2^2965. Then we cannot calculate it with a normal calculating method. Then, how we calculate it? Thankfully, there is a way to know the last digits of a few powers. But we need only 1 because we calculated it at the first, 32^593=2^2965. 2^0=1, 2^1=2, 2^2=4, 2^3=8, 2^4=16, 2^5=32, 2^6=64..... No way for these calculations for getting the correct answer if the exponent is a large number. In the latest calculation, we learned a few last digits of 2. The last digits are circuiting by the 4 places, like this, 2, 4, 8, 6. Then we can get the last digits of 2^2965. First, we divide the exponent by 4. Then we get 1. Find the last digits of 2^1. Then the answer to 5^593 is 2 because the last digit of 2^2965 is 2.

We note that any power of an integer ends with 6 always ends with 6 . Therefore, we have:
3 2 5 9 3 ≡ ( 3 0 + 2 ) 5 9 3 (mod 10) ≡ 2 5 9 3 (mod 10) ≡ 2 ⋅ 1 6 1 4 8 (mod 10) ≡ 2 ⋅ 6 (mod 10) ≡ 2 (mod 10)
