Question

The remainder when the product $1492 \cdot 1776 \cdot 1812 \cdot 1996$ is divided by $5$ is

$0$

$1$

$2$

$3$

$4$

The remainder upon division by $5$ depends only on the units digit of the product

Multiply the units digits $2,$ $6,$ $2,$ and $6$ and look at that product’s units digit

The units digit of the product equals the units digit of $2 \cdot 6 \cdot 2 \cdot 6 = 144,$ which is $4.$

A number ending in $4,$ when divided by $5,$ leaves remainder $4.$

Thus, the correct answer is E .
