Problem
What is the ones digit of![\[222,222-22,222-2,222-222-22-2?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/e/2/f/e2fbba6a2cccb3d60b70444a8b272999a204281e.png)
Solution 1
We can rewrite the expression as ![\[222,222-(22,222+2,222+222+22+2).\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/7/4/d74bfc53ce46f0b91792bb0b074e29716ed43be7.png)
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 4==
Let$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)S
10$to find the units digit of each term in the expression, and thus the units digit of the entire thing:
