That is cool
Notice that 4 ! = 2 4
Then clearly, 4 ! ≡ 0 ( m o d 2 4 )
Therefore for any n! where n is greater than 4, n! will have 24 as a factor and therefore leave no remainder when divided by 24.
It follows that 4 ! + 5 ! + 6 ! + . . . + 1 0 0 ! ≡ 0 ( m o d 2 4 )
And then all that is left over is 1 ! + 2 ! + 3 ! = 9
The remainder, therefore, is 9

just add 1!+2!+3! =9 because other numbers will be divisible by 24 so the answer is 9
