Open in App
Solution

The number of zeros on the end of 599 factorial can be determined by factoring 599! The only part we are interested in are the factors of 2 and 5. Every time you can pair a 2 and 5 together, they multiply to ten and add a zero. Clearly there are more factors of 2 than 5. So five is the limiting case. The powers of five will determine the number of zeros.

Every fifth number 5 10, 15,...595 has a power of five

595/5 = 119
so there are 119 such numbers.

here for next division take take the first number which divisible by 5 and less than 119

115/5 = 23

20/5 = 4

So the number of zeros are,

119+23+4 = 146

there are 146 zeros
