51 is equal to 17 times 3. 17 and 3 are factors of 50! as 1 x 2 x 3 x.....x 17 x..........x 49 x 50, so it is divisible by 51. Therefore, the remainder is 0.

A corollary from the famous Wilson's Theorem :

For every composite number n 4 n\neq 4 , ( n 1 ) ! 0 (n-1)! \equiv 0 ( m o d (mod n ) n) .

So, 0 \boxed{0} is the answer.

50! / 51 = 1x2x3x...17x.....50/51 = 1x2x3x...17x...50/3x17 = 1x2x4x....15x18x...50, No remainder other than zero

50!/51=((1)(2)(3)....(17)(18)....(50))/((3)(17)) ---> the remainder is 0.

As it stands this a very straightforward question - change it to find the remainder from 50!/ 53 and it becomes fiendish because 53 is a prime greater than 50, and therefore not a factor of 50!.

51 = 17 × 3 51=17 \times 3 and 17 , 3 17,3 are factors of 50 ! 50! so the remainder is 0 \boxed{\large{0}}
