We need to know the prime factors of 15; they are 3 and 5. Since 3 would appear more occasionally in 128!, then all we have to calculate is the 5 n that appears in 128!. We can use Legendre's theory help on this. n = 1 ∑ ∞ ⌊ 5 n 1 2 8 ⌋ = ⌊ 5 1 2 8 ⌋ + ⌊ 2 5 1 2 8 ⌋ + ⌊ 1 2 5 1 2 8 ⌋ + ⌊ 6 2 5 1 2 8 ⌋ + . . . = 2 5 + 5 + 1 + 0 + . . . . = 3 1
