What is the least (n) for which (n!) is divisible by (125)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15

Since \(125=5^3\), \(n!\) must contain at least three factors of \(5\). In \(14!\), only \(5\) and \(10\) contribute factors of \(5\), so it has only two such factors and is not divisible by \(125\). In \(15!\), the terms \(5,10,15\) provide three factors of \(5\); hence \(15!\) is divisible by \(5^3=125\). Exam tip: for divisibility by \(p^k\), count the exponent of the prime \(p\) in \(n!\).
