In a more stripped down solution to Akshat, I find only the last two digits (note that 1 0 ! = 3 , 6 2 8 , 8 0 0 ), which, if expand for any n ≤ 9 , would be
1 + 2 + 6 + 2 4 + ( 2 0 ) + ( 2 0 ) + ( 4 0 ) + ( 2 0 ) + ( 8 0 ) = 2 1 3 ≡ ( 1 3 )
Where the brackets refer to modulo 100 of the respective number (LHS is n ! m o d 1 0 0 )
Nice solution! Good question, clever solution.

In the above sum, we know that for any number n ≥ 1 0 , n ! will have trailing zeroes ≥ 2 .
Therefore, for finding last 2 digits of the above sum, we have to find,
n = 1 ∑ 9 n ! = 4 0 9 1 1 3 ⇒ 1 3
