We can first factor a <math>98!</math> out of the <math>98! + 99! + 100!</math> to get <math>98! ( 1 + 99 + 100*99 ),</math> Simplify to get <math>98! (10,000)</math>.
 
 
 
Let's first find how many factors of <math>5 10,000</math> has. <math>10,000</math> is <math>(2*5)^4</math> because <math>10,000</math> is <math>(10)^4</math>. After we remove the brackets, we get <math>2^4</math>, and <math>5^4</math>. We only care about the latter (second one), because the problem only ask's for the power of <math>5</math>. We get <math>4</math>
 
 
 
Next, we can look at the multiples of 5 in <math>98!</math>. <math>98/5 = 19</math> so there is 19 multiples of 5. We get <math>19</math>
 
 
 
But we cannot forget the multiples of <math>5</math> with <math>2</math> fives in it. Multiples of <math>25</math>. How many multiples of <math>25</math> are between <math>1</math> and <math>98</math>? <math>3</math>. <math>25,50,75,</math> and that's it. We get <math>3</math>
 
 
 
Finally, we add all of the numbers (powers of <math>5</math>) up. That is <math>4 + 19 + 3</math>, which is just <math>26</math>
 
 
 
So the answer is <math>26</math>. Which is answer choice D <math>\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 26}</math>.

Solution 1

Factoring out $98!+99!+100!$, we have $98! (1+99+99*100)$, which is $98! (10000)$. Next, $98!$ has $\left\lfloor\frac{98}{5}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor\frac{98}{25}\right\rfloor = 19 + 3 = 22$ factors of $5$. The $19$ is because of all the multiples of $5$.The $3$ is because of all the multiples of $25$. Now, $10,000$ has $4$ factors of $5$, so there are a total of $22 + 4 = \boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 26}$ factors of $5$.
