If x^3 has 3 as unit digit, it must be 7^3 since it equals 343. The 7 has the following pattern 7 ^1 7 7^2 9 7^3 3 7^4 1 7^5 7 and so one So 7^15 has a 3 as unit digits. Since I did it quickly, I am pretty sure that it is false. Any help ?

First of all, we can find out that when we multiply the same unit digit, they are following the same law eg. 23*23=529, 63*63=3969 the unit digit remain the same
When x3' unit digit is 3, and x15=x3*x3*x3*x3*x3 3*3=9, 3*3*3=27, 3*3*3*3=81, 3*3*3*3*3=243, so the unit digit is 3
