If the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 are all multiplied together, how many zeros are at the end of their product?
-
When 2 is multiplied by 5, there will be a zero at the end of their product. Also, when 10 is multiplied by any number there will be a zero at the end of their product. So there are 2 zeros at the end of the product of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and10.
Answer: 2
Answer: 2
-
There are two factors of 5 (5 and 10 = 2*5) and so two factors of 10, thus 10! ends in two zeroes.
Note: n! ("n factorial") is the product of all of the integers from 1 through n. Also, 0! = 1 by definition.
