Simple, if this question really has a unique answer, then it would work for any positive integer, 1 is the best to try with. When n = 1, (74n + 3)(6n) = 77 × 6, which will have [spoiler]2[/spoiler] as its unit's digit, and as remainder too, when 77 × 6 is divided by 10.mgmt_gmat wrote:If n is a positive integer, what is the remainder when (74n + 3)(6n) is divided by 10 ?

When n = 1 it leaves a remainder of 2
when n= 2 it leaves a remainder of 2
when n = 3 it leaves a remainder of 0
I do not think it would leave a unique remainder for all the positive integers - please check the question
