7^1 = 7 ... last digit is 7
7^2 = 49 ... last digit is 9
7^3 = 343 ... last digit is 3
7^4 = 2401 ... last digit is 1
7^5 = 16807 ... last digit is 7


So it repeats every 4 values.

Since 2010/4 = 502 remainder 2, this means that on the 2010th exponent, it will really be at the second stage. Looking above, the second stage has a last digit of 9.

So the last digit of is 9
