Use the modulo operator

your_number % 10

Modulo returns the remainder after division. You'll need to wrap your number in math.abs() first if it can be negative.

Hi Akiva,

If you divide 1582 by 10, what's the remainder? What if you divide 12 by 10, what remains after the division?

It is 2 in both cases. For those numbers I would say that 2 is in the 'ones' place', if you mean something different please let me know.

Cheers,

Eric
