Every positive power of 5 appears in the last digits of bigger power of 5












4














Problem. Show that for every positive integer $n$, there is an integer $N > n$ such that the number $5^n$ appears as the last few digits $5^N$. For example, if $n = 3$, we have $5^3 = 125$ and $5^5 = 3125$, so $N = 5$ would satisfy.



Please give hints towards the right direction and not the full solutions. Thanks!!

          Fix $n$.
          The cases $n le 3$ can be handled directly.
          We now assume $n > 3$.



          Let $m = lceil n log_{10} 5 rceil$ be the smallest integer such that $10^m > 5^n$. For $n > 3$, we have $m < n$.



          You want to find $N$ such that $5^N = k 10^m + 5^n$ for some integer $k$. Dividing both sides by $5^n$ yields $$5^{N-n} - 1 = k 2^m/ 5^{n-m}.$$



          Thus if you show you can find a large integer $q$ such that $5^q - 1$ is divisible by $2^m$ then you can choose $N$ and $k$ appropriately to conclude the proof.





          Base case: For $m=2$ we have $5^1 - 1$ divisible by $2^m$. Inductive step: if $5^q-1$ is divisible by $2^m$, then $5^{2q}-1 = (5^q-1)(5^q+1)$ is divisible by $2^{m+1}$.

            We will prove that there exists a $N$ such that $5^n$ and $5^N$ have the same last $n$ digits



            So what we need to do is to find $5^Nequiv 5^npmod{10^n}$



            This can be achieved by setting $N=n+phi (2^n)$



            Since $5^Nequiv 5^npmod{5^n}$ and $5^Nequiv 5^npmod{2^n}$

            Fix $n$.
            The cases $n le 3$ can be handled directly.
            We now assume $n > 3$.



            Let $m = lceil n log_{10} 5 rceil$ be the smallest integer such that $10^m > 5^n$. For $n > 3$, we have $m < n$.



            You want to find $N$ such that $5^N = k 10^m + 5^n$ for some integer $k$. Dividing both sides by $5^n$ yields $$5^{N-n} - 1 = k 2^m/ 5^{n-m}.$$



            Thus if you show you can find a large integer $q$ such that $5^q - 1$ is divisible by $2^m$ then you can choose $N$ and $k$ appropriately to conclude the proof.





            Base case: For $m=2$ we have $5^1 - 1$ divisible by $2^m$. Inductive step: if $5^q-1$ is divisible by $2^m$, then $5^{2q}-1 = (5^q-1)(5^q+1)$ is divisible by $2^{m+1}$.
