What is the smallest positive (n) for which (n!) is divisible by (2^7\cdot3^4\cdot5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (9)

Direct answer: Option B, n=9. We need the smallest n! containing at least \\(2^7\cdot3^4\cdot5\\). For 9!, count prime factors: the factors 2, 4 and 8 contribute \\(1+2+3=6\\) twos, and 6 contributes one more, giving seven twos. The factors 3 and 6 contribute two threes, and 9 contributes two more, giving four threes. The factor 5 supplies one five. Thus 9! is divisible by the required product. For 8!, there are only six factors of 2 and three factors of 3, so it fails. Therefore every smaller factorial also fails, making n=9 smallest. Option A, 8, is insufficient. Option B works. Options C, 10, and D, 11, also work but are not smallest. Exam cue: count prime powers in n!; do not merely check whether each prime appears once.
