For n ≥ 4 ,
n ! + 1 0 ≡ 0 + 1 0 ≡ 2 ( m o d 4 ) . But squares are ≡ 0 , 1 ( m o d 4 ) . Therefore n ! + 1 0 cannot be a square for n ≥ 4
So we only have to consider when n = 1 , 2 , 3 , .
When n = 1 , n ! + 1 0 = 1 1 which is not a square.
When n = 2 , n ! + 1 0 = 1 2 which is not a square.
When n = 3 , n ! + 1 0 = 1 6 which is 4 2
Therefore total number of integral values of n for which n ! + 1 0 is a square is 1 .
