Thanks, I didn' know that notation. 


I've seen on the web that 7^5 have the same three last as (7^5)^5  and in general 7^(5^n). Last digits are in 807. 

So we have 9^something finishing in 807

This will be 9^(a number of hundreds) * 9^7

The first factor ends in 001 (my firs post) the second in 969. 

So it's 969.
