1 3 + 1 50 < 1 \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{50}<1 and 1 < 1 3 + 50 50 < 2 1<\frac{1}{3}+\frac{50}{50}<2 , so we just have to find where [ 1 3 + n 50 ] = 1 [\frac{1}{3}+\frac{n}{50}]=1

To get [ 1 3 + n 50 ] = 1 [\frac{1}{3}+\frac{n}{50}]=1 , we must have [ 1 3 + n 50 ] > 1 [\frac{1}{3}+\frac{n}{50}]>1 . From there we have n > 33 n>33

The maximum value of n n is 50 50 , so there are 17 17 values of n n such that [ 1 3 + n 50 ] = 1 [\frac{1}{3}+\frac{n}{50}]=1 . All other values of n n give [ 1 3 + n 50 ] = 0 [\frac{1}{3}+\frac{n}{50}]=0 , so E = 17 E=17

17 ! 17! has 8 8 multiple of 2 2 , 4 4 multiples of 4 4 , 2 2 multiples of 8 8 , and 1 1 multiple of 16 16 .

Thus, the exponent of two is 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15 8+4+2+1=\boxed{15}
