How many trailing zeros are in 125! ?

  • A.25
  • B.30
  • C.31
  • D.32

Answer: C

The number of trailing zeros in a factorial n! is determined by the number of times 5 is a factor. We use the formula: \(\lfloor n/5 \rfloor + \lfloor n/25 \rfloor + \lfloor n/125 \rfloor + ...\)

For 125!, this is \(\lfloor 125/5 \rfloor + \lfloor 125/25 \rfloor + \lfloor 125/125 \rfloor = 25 + 5 + 1 = 31\).

There are 31 trailing zeros in 125!.
