41² = 41 x 41

Multiply only the unit digits on the right side.

1 x 1 = 1

The unit digit of 1 is '1'.

Therefore, the unit digit of 41² is '1'.

5. Answer :

235²

In 235², the base is '235'.

Since the unit digit of the base 235 is '5', the resulting number of 235² will end in '5'.

So, the unit digit of 235² is '5'.

Alternative Method :

235² = 235 x 235

Multiply only the unit digits on the right side.

5 x 5 = 25

The unit digit of 25 is '5'.

Therefore, the unit digit of 25² is '5'.

6. Answer :

1436²

In 1436², the base is '1436'.

Since the unit digit of the base 1436 is '6', the resulting number of 1436² will end in '6'.

So, the unit digit of 1436² is '6'.

Alternative Method :

1436² = 1436 x 1436

Multiply only the unit digits on the right side.

6 x 6 = 36

The unit digit of 36 is '6'.

Therefore, the unit digit of 1436² is '6'.

7. Answer :

317052²

In 317052², the base is '317052'.

Since the unit digit of the base 317052 is '2', the resulting number of 317052² will end in '2'.

So, the unit digit of 317052² is '4'.

Alternative Method :

317052² = 317052 x 317052

Multiply only the unit digits on the right side.

2 x 2 = 4

The unit digit of 4 is '4'.

Therefore, the unit digit of 317052² is '4'.

8. Answer :

100²

In 100², the base is '100'.

Since the unit digit of the base 100 is '0', the resulting number of 100² will end in '0'.

So, the unit digit of 100² is '0'.

Alternative Method :

100² = 100 x 100 = 10000

The unit digit of 10000 is '0'.

Therefore, the unit digit of 100² is '0'.
