Let S denote the largest positive integer such that 7 S divides 4 0 0 ! .
And let T denote the largest positive integer such that 3 T divides ( ( 3 ! ) ! ) ! .
Find the value of S + T .

In counting the exponent of a prime number p in the prime representation of an integer, you have to find how many p 's are there in that number. So you take the integral part of the quotient when the number is divided by p . Next you have to check how many p 2 's are there in that number. To do this you take the integral part of the quotient when the number is divided by p 2 . Since each of them will add an extra p , you add the number to the earlier one. Continue this process until p n exceeds the given number, such that, after that no more p gets added.
My bad, I thought 6!=120.
Sir, for bigger floors, you can use \left and \right in L A T E X
just brilliant, specially the fact that you realised ( 3 ! ) ! is actually ( ( 3 ! ) ! ) ! ...
S = ⌊ 7 4 0 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 7 2 4 0 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 7 3 4 0 0 ⌋ = 6 6
( ( 3 ! ) ! ) ! = 7 2 0 !
T = ⌊ 3 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 3 2 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 3 3 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 3 4 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 3 5 7 2 0 ⌋ = 3 5 6
So S + T = 6 6 + 3 5 6 = 4 2 2
same(text) as @Foolish Learner . but nice!

Yeah. This is the best way. Should I use ∑ ?

The question should be phrased like this :
"Let s , t be the largest positive integers such that... "
4 0 0 ! has 7 s in it's prime representation, where
s = ⌊ 7 4 0 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 4 9 4 0 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 3 4 3 4 0 0 ⌋ = 6 6
( ( 3 ! ) ! ) ! = 7 2 0 !
7 2 0 ! has 3 t in it's prime representation, where
t = ⌊ 3 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 9 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 2 7 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 8 1 7 2 0 ⌋ + ⌊ 2 4 3 7 2 0 ⌋ = 3 5 6
Therefore s + t = 6 6 + 3 5 6 = 4 2 2 .
