It should be 7.
Proof:
=mod(7^1,10) = 7
=mod(7^2,10) = 9
3
1
repeat (7,9,3,1)

Let (number) = 10x+y where y is smallest possible interger value when x is an integer or 0.4. Prove that a number is a multiple of 2 if the last digit is a multiple of 2, and that a number is multiple of 5 if the last digit is 0 or 5.
Let x = a * 10^1 + b * 10^2 + c * 10^3 ... ? * 10^(digits of x)Prove that a number is multiple of 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3
please note that both requirements need to be fulfilled... its lower than 1/2In post 154, implosion wrote:I suspect it's 1/2 but am not confident and am intrigued to try to show it formally and will think about it more later
