What is the highest power of 10 in 40!?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9

The highest power of 10 dividing 40! is determined by counting complete factors of 10, and each factor of 10 contains one 2 and one 5. Since 40! contains many more factors of 2 than factors of 5, the number of available pairs is limited by the exponent of 5. Using Legendre’s formula, the exponent of 5 in 40! is floor(40/5) + floor(40/25) = 8 + 1 = 9. Therefore 40! is divisible by 10^9 but not by 10^10, so option B is correct. The value 8 omits the extra factor 5 from 25, while 10 and 11 require more factors of 5 than are present.
