Problem
For any positive integer , the notation denotes the product of the integers through . What is the largest integer for which is a factor of the sum ?
Solution 1
Factoring out , we have which is Next, has factors of . The is because of all the multiples of . Now has factors of , so there are a total of factors of .
Solution 2
Also keep in mind that number of ’s in is the same as the number of trailing zeros. Number of zeros is means we need pairs of ’s and ’s; we know there will be many more ’s, so we seek to find number of ’s in which solution tells us and that is factors of . has trailing zeros, so it has factors of and .
