let x is the number of the factors of 100

let y is the sum of the first 100 positive integers

let z is the number of zeroes in 100!

compute x+y+z


The answer is 5083.

IT WILL BE BETTER IF YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR STATEMENT; SUM OF FIRST HUNDRED INTEGERS TO SUM OF FIRST 100 NATURAL NUMBERS

SOLUTION:

(a) Number of factors of 100

=100 can be written as 2 2 2^{2} X 5 2 5^{2}

=Therefore, no. of factors

="+1" the power of prime numbers

=(1+2)(1+2)

= 9 \boxed{9}

(b)1+2+3.....+99+100

= n ( n + 1 ) 2 \frac{n(n+1)}{2}

= 100 ( 101 ) 2 \frac{100(101)}{2}

= 5050 \boxed{5050}

(c)no. of trailing zeros:

= 100 5 \frac{100}{5} = 20 \boxed{20}

= 20 5 \frac{20}{5} = 4 \boxed{4}

(divide any given positive integer repeatedly by 5 until it gets divided by it to find the no. of trailing zeroes.)

therefore, the answer is:

= 9 \boxed{9} + 5050 \boxed{5050} + 20 \boxed{20} + 4 \boxed{4}

= 5083 \boxed{5083}

okay , thx 4 the feedback

I can't believe I didn't count 100 as a factor of 100. Also, 100! contains more zeroes than the 24 at the end.

no , it contains only 24 zeroes

There's a difference between "trailing zeroes" and "zeroes"; 1050 has two zeroes in it but only one at the end.

it is stated in the problem that y is the sum of the first 100 integers. why is it that you did not start in 0? it is not stated in the problem that y is the sum of he first POSITIVE integers... please correct me if i'm wrong... thanks

In future, if you spot any errors with a problem, you can “report” it by selecting the “dot dot dot” menu in the lower right corner. You will get a more timely response that way.
