So, we are looking for all $n>5$ for which $5^nequiv 3125=5^5mod 10000$.




Note that the following equivalence holds for $n>5$:$$5^nequiv 5^5mod 10000\iff \5^{n-4}equiv 5mod 16\iff\5^{n-5}equiv 1mod 16$$Define $mtriangleq n-5ge 1$. Then all the $m$s for which $5^{m}equiv 1mod 16$ holds are $$m=4kquad,quad kin Bbb N$$this is because $5^4=625equiv 1mod 16$ and therefore $$5^{4k}equiv5^{4k-4}equivcdots equiv 5^{4}equiv 1mod 16$$



Conclusion




All $n>5$s for which $5^n$ ends up with $3125$ can be found from $$n=4k+5quad,quad kin Bbb N$$ and the smallest such $n$ is 9.

      Well
      $$5^9=1953125$$
      so the answer is $9$. In fact
      $$5^nequiv 5^{n-4} mod{10^4}$$
      For $nge 8$, so any value of $5^{5+4k}$ where $kinmathbb{N}$ has the last four digits $3125$.

                        Well
                        $$5^9=1953125$$
                        so the answer is $9$. In fact
                        $$5^nequiv 5^{n-4} mod{10^4}$$
                        For $nge 8$, so any value of $5^{5+4k}$ where $kinmathbb{N}$ has the last four digits $3125$.

                          Why not $5^5 = 3125$.
