Find the number of trailing zeroes in 155!
(A)
30
(B)
38
(C)
42
(D)
44
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Multiplication of 2×5 results into 10. So number of zeroes depend on the number of pairs of 2 and 5. In any factorial, number of 5’s is lesser than the number of 2’s. So, we need to count the maximum power of 5 in 155! [155/5] + [155/52] + [155/53] =31 + 6 +1 =38 Hence, number of zeroes is 38.
