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 .The 
is because of all the multiples of 
. Now, 
has 
factors of , so there are a total of 
factors of .
