To find the largest power of 2 that divides into (24)!:
First: simplify (24)! ---> (24)! = (16)!
16! = 16 x 15 x 14 x ... x 2 x 1
But, if we want to find a number that divides into 16!, we don't really care about the odd numbers in 16 x 15 x ... x 2 x 1.
All we need to look at are the even factors: 16 x 14 x 12 x 10 x 8 x 4 x 2.
16 = 24
14 = 2 x 7
12 = 22 x 3
10 = 2 x 5
8 = 23
6 = 2 x 3
4 = 22
2 = 2
So, the total number of factors is 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15 <--- Answer
As a check: 16! / 215 = 638 512 875 (no further factors of 2)
Find the ones digit of the largest power of 2 that divides into (2^4)!.
