999! has more than 200 zeroes. Because 999!=1×2×3×4×5................

2×5=10. Hence the last digit of 999! is 0

sorry , I can't understand the solutions :(

  • 1!=1
  • 2!=2
  • 3!=6
  • 4!=24
  • 5!=120
  • from then on the unit digit is 0 therefore 0.

Note that 5 ! 5! has a units digit of 0 0 , so n ! n! has a units digit of 0 0 , for all integral values of n n at least 5 5 , so our answer is 0 \boxed {0} .

10 999 ! 10|999! so 0 0 .

0 times anything is 0 and 5 times 2 equals 10 which ends with zero, so any number times 10 is going to end up with units digit of 0.
