How many consecutive zeros does 100! have at the end? Assume that 100! has m 2s and n 5s in its prime factorization. Apparently, there are more 2s than 5s in 100!. Thus, the number of zeros at the end of 100! is same as the number of 5s in 100! Let’s count: 100!= # of multiples of 5 less than equal to 100 = # of multiples of 25 less than equal to 100 = Answer:
How many positive integers less than 70 are relatively prime to 70?
