To find the units digit of 8 to the power of 50, we need to look for a pattern in the units digits of powers of 8. The units digit of powers of 8 cycles in a pattern: 8^1 = 8, 8^2 = 4, 8^3 = 2, 8^4 = 6, and so on. Since the cycle repeats every 4 powers, we can divide 50 by 4 to find that the 50th power will have the same units digit as 8^2, which is 4. Therefore, the units digit of 8 to the power of 50 is 4.

8 to the first power ends with 8.
8 to the second power ends with 4 (8x8 = 64).
8 to the third power ends with 2 (8x4 = 32).
8 to the fourth power ends with 6 (8x2 = 16).
9 to the fifth power ends with 8 (8x6 = 48).

After this, the cycle repeats.
