75 5 + 75 25 = 18 \lfloor\frac{75}5\rfloor+\lfloor\frac{75}{25}\rfloor=18

75 5 + 75 5 2 = 15 + 3 = 18 \dfrac{75}{5}+\dfrac{75}{5^2}=15+3=18

The answer is 18 18 .

Note that after dividing 75 75 by 5 3 5^3 , the answer is less than 1 1 , so we don't need to divide 75 75 by 5 4 5^4 and so on.

75 in 75! is the multiple of 5. which means there are 75/5 = 15 fives in 75. again 75 is the multiple of 25 too. so total fives in 75 will be 15+3 = 18. 18 fives will produce 10 tens which will result in the trailing zeros. so there will be 18 trailing zeros.
