If I expand 25*24*23* ... *12*11*10, how many zeros are there at the end of the number I get?

Since it's obvious there's more 2's than 5's in this string of numbers, we just count the number of 5's to get the answer/

 

5's: 10,15,20,25(25has 5^2), so there is 5^5 in total

 

from that we know there's 100000 that can be combined in this number which leaves us with 5 0's at the end

If I expand
252423121110,
how many zeros are there at the end of the number I get?

 

252423121110=25!9!

 

zeros=255+252595=5+11zeros=5
