5 ! = 120 5! = 120

6 ! = 720 6! = 720

In general,after 5 ! 5! ,units digit is zero.

Therefore we have to just calculate the sum of 1 ! + 2 ! + 3 ! + 4 ! 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! and find the units digit which is 3 \boxed {3}

Exactly the same!!!

until 4 factorial, next term is zero is the last digit...

I started with adding up the factorials, and I noticed that any factorial after 5 ! 5! will end in 0, because they all contain at least one 5 multiplied with at least one 2. So the last digit would remain unchanged after adding 1 ! + 2 ! + 3 ! + 4 ! 1!+2!+3!+4!

Since 1 ! + 2 ! + 3 ! + 4 ! = 1 + 2 + 6 + 24 = 33 1!+2!+3!+4!=1+2+6+24=33 , the last digit will be three.
