A = 1 2 × 2 2 × 3 2 × 4 2 × 5 2 × 6 2 × 7 2 × 8 2 × 9 2 × 1 0 2 A = 1^2 \times 2^2 \times 3^2\times 4^2\times 5^2\times 6^2\times 7^2\times 8^2\times 9^2\times 10^2

B = 1 ! × 2 ! × 3 ! × 4 ! × 5 ! × 6 ! × 7 ! × 8 ! × 9 ! × 10 ! B = 1! \times 2! \times 3!\times 4!\times 5!\times 6!\times 7!\times 8!\times 9!\times 10!

C = A × B C = A\times B

The last three digits of C C are a , b , c a, b, c respectively

What is a × b × c a\times b\times c ?

in 10! or 10 square last digit is 10 so no matter whichever digit you multiply with it is 0. So, one need not find the other two last digits. Ans : 0

The last digit of A A and B B is 0,because 10 ! 10! and 1 0 2 10^{2} contains a 10 and multiplying by 10 adds a 0 to a number , so a = 0 , b = 0 a = 0,b = 0 .Since anything multiplied by 0 is 0, a × b × c = 0 a \times b \times c = 0 .

As A A already contains at least product of 1 0 3 10^3 , thus, the value of A A ends with 000 000 . Thus, after being multiplied by B B , it can only increase the number of 0 s 0's behind. Thus, C C ends with 000 000 .

Hence, a a x b b x c = 0 c = 0 x 0 0 x 0 0 = 0 \boxed{0}

A A can be rewritten as 10 ! 10 ! 10!\cdot 10! and hence A × B = ( 10 ! ) 3 × x A \times B = (10!)^{3} \times x . (Let's say x = 1 ! × 2 ! × × 9 ! x = 1! \times 2! \times \ldots \times 9! , we just want the last three digits). Well, we know ( 10 ! ) 3 (10!)^{3} ends with six 0 0 's, so multiplying it with x x will give more than six 0 0 's. That's enough to conclude that the last three digits are 000 \overline{000} . Thus, a × b × c = 0 × 0 × 0 = 0 a \times b \times c = 0 \times 0 \times 0 = \boxed {0} .
