Determine the ones place value of the product of the first 1000 prime numbers.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The ones place value of the product of the first 1000 prime numbers is 0. This conclusion arises from the fact that the product includes the prime number 5 and the prime number 2, which together produce a factor of 10, ensuring that the final product ends in 0. Therefore, regardless of the other prime numbers involved, the ones place value remains constant at 0.
