What is the units digit of the sum of  2^2020 + 7^2020

2,4,8,16,32,64     the pattern for the last digit is   2,4,8,6,  2,4,8,6,   etc 

 

2020=4*505    will end in 6

 

7,49, 343, 2401, 16807, 117649,   the pattern for the last digit is  7,9,3,1,   7,9,3,1,   

so

7^2020 will end in a 1

 

so  2^2020 + 7^2020   will end in    6*1=   6

Very minor typo Melody. It should read: 6 + 1 = 7
