Find sum of digits in factorial of a number

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 27 Apr, 2021

Given a number n, write code to find the sum of digits in the factorial of the number. Given n ≤ 5000

Examples:

Input : 10
Output : 27

Input : 100
Output : 648

It is not possible to store a number as large as 100! under some data types so, idea is to store an extremely large number in a vector.

1) Create a vector to store factorial digits and
   initialize it with 1.
2) One by one multiply numbers from 1 to n to 
   the vector. We use school mathematics for this
   purpose.
3) Sum all the elements in vector and return the sum.

C++

// C++ program to find sum of digits in factorial
// of a number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to multiply x with large number
// stored in vector v. Result is stored in v.
void multiply(vector<int> &v, int x)
{
    int carry = 0, res;
    int size = v.size();
    for (int i = 0 ; i < size ; i++)
    {
        // Calculate res + prev carry
        int res = carry + v[i] * x;
 
        // updation at ith position
        v[i] = res % 10;
        carry = res / 10;
    }
    while (carry != 0)
    {
        v.push_back(carry % 10);
        carry /= 10;
    }
}
 
// Returns sum of digits in n!
int findSumOfDigits(int n)
{
    vector<int> v;     // create a vector of type int
    v.push_back(1);    // adds 1 to the end
 
    // One by one multiply i to current vector
    // and update the vector.
    for (int i=1; i<=n; i++)
        multiply(v, i);
 
    // Find sum of digits in vector v[]
    int sum = 0;
    int size = v.size();
    for (int i = 0 ; i < size ; i++)
        sum += v[i];
    return sum;
