Editorial
The factorial of an integer is the product of all positive integers from to . A zero at the end of the product appears as a result of multiplying and . However, in the prime factorization of there are more twos than fives. Therefore, the number of zeros at the end of is equal to the number of fives in the factorization of . The number of such fives is
The summation continues until the next term equals .
Example
Find the number of zeros at the end of
The third term is already equal to zero, since .
Algorithm realization
Read the value of .
scanf("%d",&n);
Compute the result using the formula.
res = 0; while(n > 0) { n /= 5; res += n; }
Print the number of zeros at the end of
printf("%d\n",res);
Java realization
import java.util.*; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner con = new Scanner(System.in); int n = con.nextInt(); int res = 0; while (n > 0) { n /= 5; res += n; } System.out.println(res); con.close(); } }
Python realization
Read the value of .
n = int(input())
Compute the result using the formula.
res = 0 while n > 0: n = n // 5 res += n
Print the number of zeros at the end of
print(res)
