Problem 1
What is the ones digit of:
Solution 1
We can rewrite the expression as
We note that the units digit of the addition is because all the units digits of the five numbers are and , which has a units digit of .
Now, we have something with a units digit of subtracted from . The units digit of this expression is obviously , and we get as our answer.
Solution 2
So our answer is .
Solution 3
We only care about the unit's digits.
Thus, ends in , after regrouping(10-2) ends in , ends in , ends in , and ends in .
Solution 4
We just take the units digit of each and subtract, or you can do it this way by adding an extra ten to the first number (so we don't get a negative number): Thus, we get the answer
