Given:

Number = 12602

Power = 153

Formula Used:

The digit in the unit's place of a number NP depends only on the unit's digit of N .

The unit's digit of NP follows a cyclic pattern depending on the unit's digit of N .

Calculation:

Unit digit of 12602 = 2

Patterns of powers of 2:

21 = 2 (Unit digit = 2)

22 = 4 (Unit digit = 4)

23 = 8 (Unit digit = 8)

24 = 16 (Unit digit = 6)

Pattern repeats: [2, 4, 8, 6]

Power = 153

153 ÷ 4 = 38 remainder 1

⇒ Unit digit corresponds to remainder 1

From the pattern, remainder 1 corresponds to 2.

The digit in the unit's place of 12602153 is 2.
