Solution

The unit digit of a number raised to a power can be found by looking at the cyclicity of the unit digit.

The number 189 ends in 9. The powers of 9 have a cycle of 2:

  • 9^1 = 9
  • 9^2 = 81
  • 9^3 = 729
  • 9^4 = 6561

As you can see, the unit digit alternates between 9 and 1.

Since 723 is odd, the unit digit of 189^723 will be the same as the unit digit of 9^1, which is 9.

So, the unit digit of 189^723 is 9.
