| − | For any positive integer <math>M</math>, the notation <math>M!</math> denotes the product of the integers <math>1</math> through <math>M</math>. What is the largest integer <math>n</math> for which <math>5^n</math> is a factor of the sum <math>98!+99!+100!</math> ?

| − | The number of <math>5</math>'s in the factorization of <math>98! + 99! + 100!</math> is the same as the number of trailing zeroes. The number of zeroes is taken by the floor value of each number divided by <math>5</math>, until you can't divide by <math>5</math> anymore. Factorizing <math>98! + 99! + 100!</math>, you get <math>98!(1+99+9900)=98!(10000)</math>. To find the number of trailing zeroes in 98!, we do <math>\left\lfloor\frac{98}{5}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor\frac{19}{5}\right\rfloor= 19 + 3=22</math>. Now since <math>10000</math> has 4 zeroes, we add <math>22 + 4</math> to get <math>\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 26}</math> factors of <math>5</math>. | |

| − | ==Solution 3==
| |
| − | We can rewrite the expression as <math>98!+99!+100!=98!(1+99+99\cdot100)=98!(100+99\cdot100)=98!\cdot10,000</math>.
| |
| − | The exponent of <math>5</math> in <math>10,000</math> is <math>4</math>. Onto the <math>98!</math> part.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Remember that <math>98!</math> is the product of the integers from 1 to 98. Among these, there are multiples of <math>5</math> and multiples of <math>25</math>.
| |
| − | The number of multiples of <math>5</math> below or equal to <math>98</math> is <math>\left\lfloor\frac{98}{5}\right\rfloor</math> (try to see why), which is <math>19</math>. Every such number has a factor of <math>5</math>, so they contribute <math>1</math> to the total each. So these numbers contribute <math>19</math> to the exponent of <math>5</math> in <math>98!</math>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, we forgot about multiples of <math>25</math>. Using similar logic, we have <math>\left\lfloor\frac{98}{25}\right\rfloor=3</math>, so there are 3 multiples of 25 in this range. Multiples of 25 contribute 2 to the total each. We already counted 1 of 2 contributions while counting multiples of 5. So we need to add another 1 to the exponent of 5 for every multiple of 25. So these numbers contribute 3 to the exponent of 5 in <math>98!</math>.

| − | | |
| − | We thus have that the exponent of <math>5</math> in <math>98!</math> is <math>19 + 3 = 22</math>, and so our answer is <math>22 + 4 = 26 \longrightarrow \boxed{(D)26}</math>.
