Also keep in mind that number of 5’s in 98!(10,000) is the same as the number of trailing zeros. Number of zeros is 98! means we need pairs of 5’s and 2’s; we know there will be many more 2’s, so we seek to find number of 5’s in 98! which solution tells us and that is 22 factors of 5. 10,000 has 4 trailing zeros, so it has 4 factors of 5 and 22 + 4 = 26.

Problem

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

$\textbf{(A) }23 \qquad \textbf{(B) }24 \qquad \textbf{(C) }25 \qquad \textbf{(D) }26 \qquad \textbf{(E) }327$


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 $5$.
