To find number of zeroes at the end of any number factorial,
you have to count number of zeroes i.e. multiplication by 10 and 5 in the series.
e.g. 10! number of 5 and 10 there are 1 + 1 = 2 so number of zeroes = 2
in case of 25! number of 5 are, 5, 15, 25 (contains 2 fives)
and number of zeroes in 10 and 20
so total number of zeroes at the end in the product is 4 + 2 = 6
But in longer series it is difficult to count number of zeroes and fives
to find
divide the last number i.e. 25 by 5 and go on dividing the quotient by5 till the quotient is zero. add all quotients will give number of zeroes at the end of product.
25/5 = 5
5/5 = 1
number of zeroes = 5 + 1 = 6
in 200!
200/5 = 40
40/5 = 8
8/5 = 1
1/5 = 0
number of zeroes = 40 + 8 + 1 = 49
