Question
Find the 202nd digit from the right in the product of 4!×5!×6!...............71!?
Options:
A .  1
B .  2
C .  3
D .  0
E .  4
Answer: Option D
:
D
Note that 71! has 16 zeroes at its end.(You can find this out by finding the highest power of 5 in 71!)
So does 70!.
66! To 69! Have 15 zeroes at its end. Multiplication of these itself amounts to >202
Hence the 202nd digit is 0
To find the highest power of a number in a factorial
a)Highest power of a prime number in a factorial:
To find the highest power of a prime number (x) in a factorial (N!), continuously divide N by x and add all the quotients.
Eg) Find the highest power of 100!
Solution:
1005=20;205=4;
Adding the quotients, its 20+4=24. So highest power of 5 in 100! = 24
b)Highest number of a composite number in factorial
1)Factorize the number into primes.
2)Find the highest power of all the prime numbers in that factorial using the previous method.
3)Take the least power.
