So, we are looking for all $n>5$ for which $5^nequiv 3125=5^5mod 10000$.
Note that the following equivalence holds for $n>5$:$$5^nequiv 5^5mod 10000\iff \5^n-4equiv 5mod 16\iff\5^n-5equiv 1mod 16$$Define $mtriangleq n-5ge 1$. Then all the $m$s for which $5^mequiv 1mod 16$ holds are $$m=4kquad,quad kin Bbb N$$this is because $5^4=625equiv 1mod 16$ and therefore $$5^4kequiv5^4k-4equivcdots equiv 5^4equiv 1mod 16$$
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.

$begingroup$
Well
$$5^9=1953125$$
so the answer is $9$. In fact
$$5^nequiv 5^n-4 mod10^4$$
For $nge 8$, so any value of $5^5+4k$ where $kinmathbbN$ has the last four digits $3125$.
