Given an integer n, write a function that returns count of trailing zeroes in n!. Examples :
Input: n = 5 Output: 1 Factorial of 5 is 120 which has one trailing 0. Input: n = 20 Output: 4 Factorial of 20 is 2432902008176640000 which has 4 trailing zeroes. Input: n = 100 Output: 24
Trailing 0s in n! = Count of 5s in prime factors of n! = floor(n/5) + floor(n/25) + floor(n/125) + ....
PHP
<?php // PHP program to count // trailing 0s in n! // Function to return trailing // 0s in factorial of n function findTrailingZeros( $n ) { // Initialize result $count = 0; // Keep dividing n by powers // of 5 and update count for ( $i = 5; $n / $i >= 1; $i *= 5) $count += $n / $i ; return $count ; } // Driver Code $n = 100; echo "Count of trailing 0s in " , 100, "! is " , findTrailingZeros( $n ); // This code is contributed by vt_m ?> |
Count of trailing 0s in 100! is 24
Time Complexity: O(log5n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
