The document provides methods for finding the last two digits of numbers ending in different digits. It states that: 1) For numbers ending in 1, the last two digits are the tens and ones places of the number. 2) For numbers ending in 3, 7, or 9, the process involves finding the last two digits of the number before it ends in 1. 3) For numbers ending in 2, 4, 6, or 8, the last two digits are 76 if the number is raised to an even power, or 24 if raised to an odd power. 4) Numbers not in the form of 2n can be broken into 2n × an odd number, and the last two

Last two digits of numbers ending in 1 Find the last two digits of 412789 In no time at all you can

n calculate the answer to be 61 (4 9 = 36). Therefore, 6 will be the tens digit and one will be the units digit)
Last two digits of numbers ending in 3, 7 or 9 Find the last two digits of 19266. 19266 = (192)133. Now, 192 ends in 61 (192 = 361) therefore, we need to find the last two digits of (61)133. Once the number is ending in 1 we can straight away get the last two digits with the help of the previous method. The last two digits are 81 (6 3 = 18, so the tens digit will be 8 and last digit will be 1) Last two digits of numbers ending in 2, 4, 6 or 8 There is only one even two-digit number which always ends in itself (last two digits) - 76 i.e. 76 raised to any power gives the last two digits as 76. Therefore, our purpose is to get 76 as last two digits for even numbers. We know that 242 ends in 76 and 210 ends in 24. Also, 24 raised to an even power always ends with 76 and 24 raised to an odd power always ends with 24. Therefore, 2434 will end in 76 and 2453 will end in 24. Find the last two digits of 2543. 2543 = (210)54 23 = (24)54 (24 raised to an even power) 23 = 76 8 = 08 (NOTE: Here if you need to multiply 76 with 2n, then you can straightaway write the last two digits of 2n because when 76 is multiplied with 2n the last two digits remain the same as the last two digits of 2n. Therefore, the last two digits of 76 27 will be the last two digits of 27 = 28) Same method we can use for any number which is of the form 2n. Here is an example: Find the last two digits of 64236. 64236 = (26)236 = 21416 = (210)141 26 = 24141 (24 raised to odd power) 64 = 24 64 = 36 Now those numbers which are not in the form of 2n can be broken down into the form 2n odd number. We can find the last two digits of both the parts separately. Here are some examples: Find the last two digits of 62586. 62586 = (2 31)586 = 2586 3586 = (210)58 26 31586 = 76 64 81 = 84
